Two years ago, myself & Olan Rogers pitched a Box Assassin Animated Series. Netflix and Fox emerged as two VERY interested parties!
But timing is everything. Right after we pitched, the studio attached was going through a merger (Warner Bros), Netflix’s stocks nosedived, I mean, the whole animation industry just kind of hit a bump. Ultimately, negotiations fell through.
It knocked me down pretty hard, but I knew I wasn't done with this project. With your help, I believe we can still bring The Box Assassin to life. That's why starting today I've launched a Kickstarter campaign. Even if you can't donate, just a like or a share would mean so much. Thank you! #TheBoxAssassin📦

Bruh, i saw the Box Assassin during a class at school, and i was like, "Wow, this is really cool!!" And now a series?? Sign me tf up, i wanna watch every single second of it!
I think what makes part of this so great is that it doesn't feel the need to take itself seriously, especially for a genre where spy films all seem to play out the same (which is probably why they lost a lot of steam). We need more people with fresh takes and unexpected spins in an industry that has become too content with recycling the same motions, no matter how strange of an idea it may be. I'm so glad it got you your job, and I'm even more glad that you're continuing to pursue creative expression instead of being content. Really excited for this!
Imagine if the movie was played out by multiple background characters who had witnessed the box assassin and made it out to tell the tale. So each quarter of the movie a new charcter tells what they saw to someone

Hell yeah! Absolutely hyped for this. The short film was amazing when I first watched it, and I can't wait for a full adaptation for it. Best of luck!
Really is both a hilarious and terrifying concept. Dude probably gives his enemies extreme paranoia due to how versatile his gimmick is.
Animations like the original Box Assassin inspired me to become an animator and study to get into the industry. I’m sorry to hear what you went through with the big companies. It’s a real shame what’s going on in the industry. But projects like these with community support give me hope that the Animation industry will bounce back. I don’t think I could financially support the project, but I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Don’t have any words to describe how excited I am for a full series on this so I’m dropping a comment just to appease the algorithm
I'm so happy that this is finally becoming more than an animated short
I think the biggest question for which the answer will only really become apparent after an episode or two is how to keep the whole premise of a guy killing people through boxes to stay fresh and interesting. It works very well for a student short film where the stakes are immediate and so is the resolution, but in a series you can't pull the same trick too many times in a row.

I remember this short films and it was so original. Now seeing where its going right now with Olan Rogers even helping with it makes me so hopeful for the future of filmmaking.
Oh I am so into this man. Make your own company or web series and stick it to every big corporation. Don’t let them tie down your idea. Because it deserves a chance.
I can see the box assassin being the greatest web-series of all time
I remember LOVING this short the first time I saw it! It's still amazing to this day.
The production value in this video is fantastic. You’re popping out of different boxes, from a Christmas gift box to a donut box, to a shipping box with a mouthful of styrofoam.
The best part of the Box Assassin short is that it constantly surprises you with the same premise. I hope the episodic series demonstrates that same creativity.
