Lucky Day Forever website - Grand Opening!

So it happened folks! The Lucky Day Forever page is finally open! Let me elaborate on why this is so exciting.

Lucky what?!
Lucky Day Forever, a ~15 minute 2d animation, written and directed by myself and produced by Studio Miniatur Filmowych.

While I've been fairly successful with doing Flash animations (I love you Internet!) and could have painlessly followed that path as many web authors did, launch a webseries and start selling coffee mugs and such... something constantly kept pushing me to do a "pro" film, make a real animated film instead of another Flash cartoon, not a sole effort but collaborative one, with real scope and budget... After some pretty tough but pretty exciting times of trying (rather fruitlessly) to live that dream, one day something happened and there was "Lucky Day Forever".

Even though not a single frame of animation has been made yet, the film is already over 2 years in development. To cut a long story short, for these past years it was more or less my personal little horror of struggling with the story, chiseling the script, drawing till my arm drops and finally fighting for financing. Not suprisingly, the latter has proven the hardest. However blind stubborn persistence eventually paid back and I had to starve only just a little - now things are finally starting to move! An official website is a good proof of it. Don't forget to visit Luckydayforever.com while you're at it!
