Happy Pride! Wait no, I mean, Sad Pride!

We met our $900 goal! Oh my God, thank you all so much! This is crazy! With that amount, not only did we pay for the Fantasolab Screenwriting Lab, but we also have additional funds to start covering research and concept art commissions.
However, if you're still interested in sending in a tip for the video, I won't say no and would appreciate it immensely, but that's up to you! https://paypal.me/josemld or https://venmo.com/u/JoseMLuna
