Site description: 3940 What is Hungry Creature Productions? We are a small collective of film industry professionals who collaborate outside of our full-time jobs to create animated short films (and perhaps longer ones in the future as well). In addition to this pursuit, we also make art, have a boutique, write books, and make video reviews for our youtube channel! Mission Statement Our primary audience is the child within every adult and the adult within every child.   We want to stimulate conversation within the groups that watch our films, discussion that leads to greater understanding, empathy, and imagination. It is of primary importance to us that we never re-create experiences. When people watch a Hungry Creature film, they are embarking on a journey into uncharted territory every single time. We will never emulate the successes of others; we will forge our own path. We do not view ourselves as competitors to other studios, other artists. We are allies in expression, with something different to show and say.   Values High Moral Standards     At Hungry Creature, we believe that violence and brutality is far too often shown as the only solution when dealing with conflict resolution. We will never show violence in a way that glorifies it, our films will always depict difficult conflicts with clarity, realism, and no gloss.     We believe that the personalities of our characters must be complex and raw, giving a platform for minorities, gender equality, and those without a voice. There is no place for harmful stereotypes within our films.     Every story must have deeper meaning, but this offering to the viewers cannot be preachy or judgemental in tone. It will be a treasure to be found for those who wish to dig, a spine for the narrative rather than an exoskeleton. Spirituality is to be respected. Scientific wonder is to be championed. Imagination is to be joyfully proclaimed. High Aesthetic Standards     It is of supreme importance that, as a studio, we are never chained to a singular artistic vision permanently. Aesthetic exploration on our end, coupled with our willingness to pursue radically different narratives than the norm, will only result in a greater sense of discovery for our viewers.     Feature length cg animated films, generally have a very slim sense of artistic variety when it comes to the overall image. We must always be radically participating in aesthetic innovation, exploring, and pursuing new forms of expression through image. A Community, not a Company     More than anything else, Hungry Creature exists for the people within its walls. Goals will be reasonable, overtime will be emergency only, and undue stress will be kept as far away from the artists as possible. This is a place to grow, to learn, to experiment. Our artists must be inspired, motivated, and look forward to coming to work each morning!     From the hero emptying the trash to the lead artist, ideas and inspiration are to be cherished and paid serious attention to. We want every member of the Hungry Creature family to feel safe, comfortable, and excited about our films! Because of our small size, wild ambitions, and unusual pursuits, Hungry Creature will not be able to compete with other studios when it comes to salary or benefits. It is important that, as every employee is a member of our extended family, their possible departure for higher-paying opportunities will be a joyful celebration for all! We recognize that given our low-budgets, we might not be a permanent financial fit for every member of our crew but we will do everything in our power to be a perfect emotional and creative fit for every member of the Hungry Creature Family. No matter what the future may hold, we will never grow complacent. The Creatures are Hungry.
