🌸 GREAT NEWS: NOT ONLY ARE WE AT 100% FUNDED, WE'RE AT 110%! 🌸

$3,081 out of our $2,800 goal, to be exact!

Yisel here, creator and co-director of ATMT, letting you all know that we are so honored by this overwhelming support of this story we're excited to tell. It's extremely close to my heart and nothing is driving us closer to finishing this film than this amazing show of support, so from us to you, thank you!

This is momentous for queer Latine indie animation; by supporting us, you're guaranteeing a place for our stories to be told without the need to go through studio execs to get things done. This is all done by a hard-working core team and a ragtag group of volunteers, so cheering us on is exactly what we need to get this film into film festivals everywhere!

We don't have smaller stretch goals in mind, but there are 9 days left in the campaign, so if you still want to share our campaign, we have 2 stretch goals:

🌸 $4,000 - Official ATMT T-Shirt!

This would be for Myrtle Tiers and above. I absolutely love graphic tees, they're my ultimate merch design, and because we're already guaranteeing you all the merch you'll get should you support us now, wouldn't it be cool to get a magical catholic lesbian t-shirt out of it, too?

This is also what I personally believe to be our most realistic goal to gain in the final days of our campaign, so I'm excited to see you all turn up for us if you're so inclined. We'll also make the shirt an add-on for ANY tier so you can all rep this queer indie film with pride! 💕

🌸 $6,000 - Offical Physical Art Book

This one would also be available for our higher tiers, possibly an add-on if we reach this goal! We were already planning on making a digital art book, but with you help, we could get you an archive of all the amazing artwork that went into creating this short film, from start to finish!

🌸 We know we aren't owed all this amazing generosity, so these last few days would just be the icing on this metaphorical cake. Love you all, reblogging and sharing our Kickstarter link is always appreciated if you can't back us! 🌸

🌸 WE JUST HIT 50% FUNDED!!! 🌸

$1,494 has been pledged out of our $2800 goal! Thank you for all your support so far; Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing (no, not that one) fundraising site, so we need to hit our goal in order to see ANY of the funds for our backers! Our campaign also ends on March 18th! This means there are only 25 days left to back us.

If you'd like to see a sapphic indie animated short film make waves by entering film festivals around the world, as well as gain some snazzy merch in the meantime, consider supporting us through our various tiers on our Kickstarter!

🌸REBLOGGING/SHARING IS APPRECIATED, WHETHER OR NOT YOU BACK US! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING QUEER INDIE ANIMATION AND OUR SAPPHIC LITTLE STORY <333 🌸

🌸 HI EVERYONE!! 🌸 Check out our amazing character designs by the lovely Netanya Carmona!

Our first main character, Camellia, is a reverend's daughter who is kind, reliable, and determined to get her congregation and Father to change their superstitions about magic.

Our second main character, Myrtle, is a magical dryad from the woods that surround Camellia's church! She is sweet, a little naive, and bubbly in nature with amazing plant powers to boot.

Keep up with us to meet our core team and see future story/animation updates!
