ATTENTION INDIE ANIMATION FANS - Time Sensitive!
Greetings Boxtownies!
We are now entering the FINAL 26 HOURS OF THE BOXTOWN CAMPAIGN!
We have a LOT of ground to cover in these last 27 hours in our quest to fully crowdfund an independent film noir animated comedy for Youtube starring the voice talents of Alex Hirsch and Tara Strong.
This project from the start has been an extremely personal one to me. I created Detective Tim Standing and Bill the Orphan (or the characters that became them) in order to escape the bleak world of high school. Now, I guess we're attempting to escape the often-bleak world we live in together with some hilarious, TV-quality animation.
If you've already contributed, thanks SO much for your support! If any heroes out there want to increase their contributions or double dip, now would be BEST POSSIBLE TIME FOR THAT!
It’s time to scream #BackBoxtown on twitter and share the link to the high heavens! Don't forget to include the link to this crowdfunding campaign! Here are some handy infographics we’ve created for folks to share:
Let's make Boxtown good.
Really good.

Welcome!
Hello! My name is Charlie G. I’m a storyboard artist, director, supervising director and writer. In my time in animation I’ve worked on projects including Jellystone, Big City Greens, Harvey Beaks.

I’d like to officially welcome you to the first unofficial installment of the Official Boxtown Production journal! This is intended to be my official diary as I attempt to create the pilot for Boxtown, an indie film noir buddy comedy pilot starring Alex Hirsch and Tara Strong that’s scheduled to come out around Late 2023 - as well as my own personal journey as an artist.
I wanted to talk a little about my intentions in creating this project. The two main characters, Detective Tim Standing and Bill the Orphan have existed since around 2008 when they were created for a webcomic I was doing in high school.

In 2016, I revived the characters as the inspiration for a new project called Boxtown. Instead of superheroes as they originally were intended to be, I turned them into detectives, based on my lifelong secret obsession with wanting to be a detective that first started the moment I saw an episode of Inspector Gadget.

I want to create an original internet production that is of very high quality. Obviously, this is a very difficult thing to accomplish. So, this blog will be my attempt to document my difficult experiences while also highlighting the incredible art of the artists that I am so, so lucky to be working with. Boxtown’s team combines seasoned TV animation talent with fresh indie animation talent to create something that is intended to feel new but like a progression of the legacy that has come before.

I hope you’ll join me on what has already been a pretty exciting journey! I just want this to be a space where I can document the BTS material and general creation of the project. I also plan to share concept artwork, animation tests, and environment tests here. And our goal is to always credit the artists who created this material properly.
