So I was sitting one day with my kids in May of 2003, sketching and creating some characters and came up with the idea of farm animals becoming superheroes. Simple enough, right? The idea was to make it into a book series, but the idea kept growing and growing and I realized after much blood, sweat and tears that it would be better as an animated television series. I kept drawing and re-drawing and writing and re-writing, until my family, nor my bank account could stand it any longer. Then it came to me that I needed some serious help. So I took it to my friend Rob Cowie who thought it was funny enough to put some effort into and we started developing it further. We contacted Project Firefly Animation Studios in Orlando, FL, had some meetings and decided to make a series pilot based on my initial concept. Six months later, after long hours of creating, writing, hiring voice talent, animating, editing, and a lot of other stuff, we had an animated pilot to be proud of. The pilot “Farm Force: Send in the Clones” premiered in Orlando, FL in January 2005. Our next step was to market our series to the networks and studios. We visited NATPE and KIDSCREEN in New York and talked with many of the industry’s biggest names. In July of 2005, we submitted it to Nextoons, The Nicktoons Film Festival 2005 and won the Viewer’s Choice award! This created a buzz around the project and soon we signed a development deal with Porchlight Entertainment in Los Angeles. We are currently in the initial stages of developing 26 half hour episodes, and look forward to lots of fun and lots of work in the future. Thanks to everyone involved for keeping Farm Force alive and well!

May the Farm Force be with you!
