In late 2003 I began production on a experimental short film in hopes of proving that technology had progressed to the point that a small team of dedicated artists could produce an animated film that could stand on its own in terms of visual quality when compared with other animated films of the day.

I had access to two home computers, one artist (myself), and a $5,000 advance from my book publisher that I could eek out to survive on for six months.

KAZE: GHOST WARRIOR (2004) is the result.

Through this experiment, I had hoped to bring power to the artists, to the storytellers; by showing that even if animation was limited, that a moving story could still be told even on a shoestring budget.

I wanted to see artists telling _their_ stories; the stories that they, themselves, had always wished to see but that hadn't yet been made.

I can't say whether any real difference in terms of artist-driven productions was made as a result of this experiment.  But I can tell you that I still believe in the beauty and power of the stories it seems nearly every artist harbors deep in their hearts.

It's the _story_ that matters.

And to that end, I am happy to announce that casting will open for episodes 1 & 2 of KAZE: WIND OF CHANGE in July, 2014!
