Raven Moon Ent. Inc. announced that it has raised half of the $3.2 million budget for its first animated feature, Gina D & The Transistor Sisters: In Search of the Golden Record. The initial investment was made by MG Studios, a fully equipped 3D digital soundstage facility located in Longwood, Florida, where Raven Animation will produce the G-rated film.
The Gina D movie will clock in at round 65 minutes and will feature 12 original Motown-style songs produced by Emmy Award-winning executive producers Joey and Bernadette DiFrancesco, who have already produced the music soundtrack and the first 14 minutes of dialogue. The DiFrancescos also came up with the story and co-wrote the script with Tim Trombitas. Directing duties are being handled by Michael Gibilisco, helmer of the Gina D’s Kids Club TV series.
Raven Moon hopes to raise the other half of the production budget via a new partnership company dedicated to seeking potential partners. Interested parties can learn more about the terms of the partnership by contacting Carol Merry at (614) 825-1750 or carol.merry@fahlgren.com.
Gina D’s Kids Club started airing in September of 2004 and currently airs on 227 television stations nationwide. The company recently signed an exclusive agreement with public television station WPBT-Miami to launch the existing 24 episodes through American Public Television (APT) to public stations across the country in June of 2006.
