UPDATE:

So I had a fun time working on this project. It was my first sell to a major studio and got to learn a little inside baseball on the studio process. Plus, I met and worked with some cool people. But as of now, Treehouse is dead. It’s time to move onto other projects.

While in development at the studio, the story underwent some pretty significant shifts in tone. Instead of the dark fairy-tale I originally pitched, it ultimately became a sort of ‘teen horror’.

The movie above is the original teaser trailer I used to pitch the concept around town. The images below are some concept sketches for what I refer to as the “studio version” of Treehouse. Artist credit goes to my talented friend Khan Muftic.
