🧅 Sacrificing Summer for Shrek 2 Retold + A Halloween Zine Treat 🍬
🕑 Added 2025-08-08 22:17:54 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I wanted to do a more casual, behind-the-scenes update today. Think of this like a little devlog or podcast. Lots to cover: the 3GI Zine, Shrek 2 Retold, and a few secret extras…
📰 3GI Zine – Issue #1 is OUT!
The first-ever 3GI Zine has officially shipped to all Disciple-tier patrons ($10+), and I’m so happy with how it turned out. It’s packed with:
Interviews with amazing creators (Jim Tozzi, QuintonReviews, Ratboy Genius, Bentl)
Comics, jokes, short stories, cut-out crafts, an I Spy spread, stickers, and more
A new raccoon mascot (help me name him… “Scrappy” is the front-runner 👀)
A caption contest for the next issue
The feedback so far has been AWESOME. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out to say they loved it :)
📦 Shipping Note for International Patrons
I underestimated how expensive international shipping would be (turns out “just paper” still costs a lot to mail).
If you’re international and want to keep getting the zine, please bump your pledge to $15/month so we can cover shipping costs.
🎃 Issue #2 – Halloween Theme (Submissions Open!)
The next issue is already in the works: spooky, fun, and weird. If you’re in the Disciple tier, you can submit now!
HERE ARE THE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The deadline is the end of the month, so get your ideas in now!
🧅 Shrek 2 Retold – Going Ogretime
I’ve been working on Shrek 2 Retold nonstop. No freelance gigs, no side videos, just pouring everything into getting it finished. I’ve even dipped into savings and basically sacrificed my summer for the sake of making this thing as epic as it can be.
I’m aiming to have a solid cut by the end of the month, then I’ll polish it for final release. It’s been a huge undertaking, but I truly believe the final product will be worth it.
🎤 Far Far Away Idol – It’s Happening
As a bonus companion to Shrek 2 Retold, we’re making Far Far Away Idol (plus some other extras).
If you’re an animator, filmmaker, or musician and want in, email shrextracredit@gmail.com with your portfolio, and your desire for either music or visuals. This is a quick-turnaround project, so don’t wait.
This won’t slow down the main film — think of it as icing on the cake.
🕵️ Watch Shrek 2 Time
We’ve already released 9 episodes (10+ hours!) of behind-the-scenes content about making the movie. The final episode will drop after the film’s release so we can finally share all the spoilers.
🙏 Thank You
Thanks for sticking with this long journey. Shrek 2 Retold is close, the zine is growing into something special, and I’m so excited for you to see what’s next.
If you’re not in the Disciple tier yet, now’s the perfect time to join so you get the Halloween issue of the zine mailed to you. If you are a Disciple, send in your submissions!
Here’s to epic moments.
