Beast's Burden, Building a Team

Beast's Burden, Building a Team

Project Overview

Overview:
For the past six years, Beast's Burden has been more than a project—it's been a passion, a journey, and a labor of love. Now, as I stand on the cusp of bringing this epic tale to life, I'm on the lookout for visionary scriptwriters and artists to join me in crafting a captivating manga/comic book experience. This is an opportunity to be part of a project that not only tells a compelling dark fantasy story but also introduces audiences to the rich tapestry of Native American cultures.


The Project:
Beast's Burden is a coming-of-age dark fantasy that follows the harrowing journey of a pre-teen girl determined to rescue her captured mother from "cannibals." It's a tale of Courage, Self-Discovery and Redemption set against a backdrop inspired by the diverse traditions of Native American cultures.

Selection Process:

Once the deadline hits, I'll be meticulously reviewing every submission, creating a list of individuals for each category. Subsequently, I plan to have a few VCs to gauge compatibility and synergy. It's crucial to me that we all click and can cooperate effectively. I won't proceed further if we cannot build a somewhat harmonious and collaborative team.

    Hey everyone, hope you're all having a fantastic day! I've been going through the auditions that were sent in, and I'm genuinely thrilled about the new found potential of this project. However, after the initial days, I realized I might have come across a bit too formal. My intention was to ensure everyone knows what they're getting into, so I took that approach lol.

    We're just four days away from the audition deadline, so if you haven't submitted yours yet, time's running out. I'm genuinely excited to meet each one of you real soon. See you then!!
