Building Dr. Apples: From Art Show to Animated Pilot
Dr. Apples evolved from a sculpture to a character with a backstory to a fully animated pilot script. Initially, I had no intention of writing an entire series, but each step led to the next. When someone suggested writing his backstory, it seemed fun. Then, when I was encouraged to make it a book, I took the leap and wrote The Origin, The Eye, and The Journey. Getting into an animation writing class by chance, with an incredible mentor, was the push I needed to transform Dr. Apples into an animated pilot. It taught me that sometimes, projects evolve naturally when you stay open to what’s next.
