<p>A feature length crowdfunding campaign based on the beautiful manga</p>
Written by Ross Locksley on 26 Apr 2021
The Girl from the Other Side is a gorgeous manga by Japanese manga artist Nagabe, published in 2015 by MAG Garden. In 2019, WIT Studio released a 10 minute short based on the work, which was invited to nine international festivals including the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
In light of the overwhelmingly positive response, WIT Studio is looking to crowdfund a full-length theatrical feature on Kickstarter - already funded within 24 hours, the project has 2 weeks left, so this is your chance to back a major animation project and grab a few exclusive backer-goodies into the bargain.
Synopsis:
Touch not the Outsiders, lest ye become an Outsider. But when two creatures belonging to opposite sides -a lost little girl from the Inside and a demonic beast-looking Outsider- initiate an impossible coexistence in the same corner of the forest, their bond seems to transcend their incompatible natures and the unnamed curse that has divided the world.
You can find the project on Kickstarter.
To get a taste of the project, you can enjoy the trailer to the original 10 minute short below:
