It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have a first draft screenplay! We’ve been talking about this film for over a year, but now we can actually release some info! Below is the official synopsis:
Baldur, the most beloved of the Norse gods, is plagued with baneful dreams. With each passing night, the dreams grow worse and eventually prophecies his death. When news of this reaches his parents, Odin, the all-seeing god of wisdom, and Frigg, the lovely goddess of mothers, they set out to prevent Baldur’s death at all costs. Despite their strenuous efforts, which takes them all throughout the nine worlds, the desperate parents soon learn that no one can escape fate’s iron grip. Not even gods.
This is a story about a parent’s love for their son, and those parents doing everything in their power to save their son, even though they know they can’t. It’s a family drama at heart, with gods as characters and a touch of magic.
The film’s release date is slated for April 2012, but in order to make such a large-scale fantasy film, we need to raise a decent budget. If you can, please help us!
New Film Details
As you may or may not know, our next project is going to be a long short (probably around 30 minutes) based on Norse lore. Originally we were going to adapt the myth of Ragnarök, which is the “doom of the Gods” when the world will be destroyed, but from the ashes a new one is born. Though it’s an epic and compelling myth, in the end we decided to go with something else – the sagas of the murder of Baldur (the most beloved God of kindness, virtue, and innocence) and the wicked trickster Loki’s retribution. For those of you who are familiar with the lore, you’ll recognize these sagas as perhaps the most mysterious, tragic, and beautiful of the Norse myths, and arguably of all mythology. For those of you who are not familiar with the lore, you’re in for a treat! The anticipated release date of the film, currently untitled, is April 20th, 2012. Until then, we will be posting regularly on the film’s progress and now and again throw in some goodies such as script excerpts, concepts, and maybe even screencaps. Stay tuned!

MISSION EARTH ROCK
It’s finally here!
MISSION EARTH ROCK was written and directed by Brittany Neff of Rise Again Films. It follows the story of eight-year-old Griffin, an aspiring astronaut with a vivid imagination, and his newest discovery – the “earth rock.” Through Griffin’s adventure we are reminded of the power of imagination and the effervescence of youth.
Note: This film is NOT owned by VuduPins Productions. All rights belong to Brittany Neff (the writer, director and sound designer) of Rise Again Films. We only edited and animated this film, and have been given permission by Brittany to release it here.
MISSION EARTH ROCK Update
MISSION EARTH ROCK will be released in its entirety tomorrow! Be sure to check back and watch it! Once again, The synopsis of the film is:
Mission:Earth Rock is a film about a boy named Griffin who wants to become an astronaut. One day while on a mission he stumbles upon an object that he calls an “earth rock.” He takes it back to “base” and does experiments on it. He brings it to school the next day and tells all the students about it. One student, Francine “Frankie” Cook tries to steal it causing a scene in recess that leads them both to detention. She comes over later to apologize about how she acted. When she leaves the earth rock is missing. Griffin searches for Frankie to find his earth rock. His mission will not end till his earth rock is back in his hands.

Film Status Updates
MISSION EARTH ROCK is almost done, just cleaning up the sound in post, adding credits and then voila! If you haven’t already, you can watch a preview clip here. And once again, we’d like to reiterate this film is not the property of VuduPins Productions; it belongs to our friend Brittany Neff of Rise Again Films, who wrote, directed, and designed the sound of the film. We only edited the film and provided the animated opening sequence. But Brittany has been kind enough to let us officially release the film, so stay tuned!
As far as our other scripts go, GOD’S SICK JOKE and ROOTS WITHOUT END have been put on hold indefinitely. This is because we are now turning every bit of our focus and energy on our currently untitled Norse epic, to be released April 2012. At some point or another these films will be made, but for now we simply can’t afford to divide our attention between the Norse epic and another project. But rest assured, as of now we have no plans to abandon either film.
