OVERGROWN: What’s next?

As we wrap up the community fundraising phase of the campaign, Francesco talks about the next steps for OVERGROWN.

Report Problem

A couple of weeks ago, Blender Studio released the teaser for OVERGROWN, offering a glimpse of what this feature film could become. It also served as the final push in our campaign to gather the 7,000 supporters needed for the project to move forward. We reached 88% of our goal.

First of all, thank you to everyone who answered our call and signed up to support the project. Knowing that our work, and the bigger goal behind it, resonates with people means a lot to the Blender Studio team that created the world of OVERGROWN.

So, with the goal not quite met, is it time to give up and shelve the film? Not exactly. The support we've gathered is still a substantial force, one that allows us to pitch the project to external buyers.

However, to keep studio activities going, we still need to gather some more subscribers, and for that, there are few ideas.

What's next?

While Blender Studio's producers and PR team prepare OVERGROWN for the final round that will decide its fate, our artists have already moved on to their next projects:

  • Cowboi, the 18th Open Movie, currently in development
  • A secret expansion project
  • Lots of brand-new master classes: bite-sized courses covering a wide variety of topics

We have plenty to share in the coming months, so stay tuned and bring a friend. The best thing about the Blender Studio production knowledge library is that it never stops growing.
