Grim Delivery
Welcome to the
Endless Cemetery!
A supernatural comedy about Riley, a boy who dies at a young age and has to navigate the afterlife without any friends or family. He gets an entry-level job as a Grim Reaper where he discovers the horrors of mortality and worse, the service industry!
You look like you’ve seen a Ghost!
Working a crappy job and witnessing an “untimely” death are things ultimately everyone has experienced or will experience at some point, but maybe it’s not something everyone is quite ready for. Grim Delivery aims to help people process these themes in a lighthearted way.
I’ve lost people who are very important to me, and I certainly was never ready for it. No one is. Art helped me through my grief, and I believe that young audiences are capable of understanding mortality more than we might give them credit for. This animated show will help kids make sense of death.
What is a “Kuppy?
I’m a Kuppy! I’m a self-taught character designer, storyboard artist, and director from Queens, New York. I grew up watching the legendary cartoons of the early 2000s like Adventure Time, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Chowder, and many more. I wanted to create a cartoon that could stand among such titans, and for a while that dream seemed impossible. However, through enrolling in the MFA Visual Narrative program, I learned so much about crafting animated shows and now hope to stand among the pantheon of cartoonists I admired so much as a kid!
What comes next?
I am going to put the animatic on Kickstarter to raise money for animators, colorists, voice actors, and sound designers. Once the film is finished, I will submit it to film festivals. Eventually, I’ll start my own studio to foster and encourage independent creators to stay true to their artistic vision. And of course, I’ll make more cartoons!
