Hi guys, Not that much time ago our independent animation feature made its way to one of the biggest Los Angeles based distributors. It took 2 years from a rough idea to the final cut, and another year to prepare the project for distribution. Today I was browsing Animation World Network(one of the biggest entertainment portal on animation) and I accidentally bumped into the announcement of our project http://www.awn.com/news/splash-entertainment-bringing-tellur-aliens-feat... When I saw that, I understood that the distribution has started. Quite exciting feeling I have to say. So it has been almost 3.5 years since the startup. A long way full of challenges and pain. I learned hell a lot of things though. I would like to share some of the tips&tricks in starting an IP which will make its way to the big market.
