We are igniting the future of Animation through artistic freedom and creative control!
Nouns Fest is a trailblazer in animation — carving its place as a leader for discovering and uplifting the next generation of storytellers and creators.
Our mission is clear: Empower the world’s top animators, amplify their voices, celebrate artistic innovation, and offer the best terms in the industry. With the momentum we've built, we’re poised to disrupt the animation landscape and make Nouns Fest the go-to platform for uninhibited animated storytelling.
"The results? Fifty animated shorts in every imaginable media, overflowing with shameless beauty and gleeful inventiveness. These shorts were consistently hysterical, outrageous, ground-breaking and utterly-inspiring. Add another dozen superlatives of that sort to that sentence and you’ll get a sense of what this film festival was like." - John Derevlany, Animation Magainze
Visit nounsfest.tv for all our released Shorts from Season 1 & 2, press links, and detailed info inclduing our industry panel and business partners from last years festival.
View recap video here. View final propdate here.
Nouns Fest is comprised of professionals with extensive experience in animation, marketing, development, and content production. Nouns Fest was co-founded by award winning industry veterans including Chris Waters and Eric Towner of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, Walter Newman, Joel Cares, Joshua Fisher, and Goldy.
Moving forward Goldy and Chris will be consulting, forgoing any payment, and no longer be involved in the day-to-day operations as they are focusing on outside projects they're involved in.
With Season 3, Nouns Fest will continue making best-in-class animation by onboarding 30+ animators to Nouns and creating the foundation for The Nouns Animated Universe:
10 Bumpers (5-10 second quick clips)
20 Short Shorts (2-5 min animations)
2-3 Nouns Fest Development Projects w/ Stoopid Buddy Stoodios
Think of Nouns Fest Development Projects like a YCombinator of Animation. Not only funding but development of your project alongside the Nouns Fest team and award winning Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. We will select excellent animators from our Short Shorts program and provide resources and hands on support in order for them to execute on developing the groundwork for groundbreaking characters amd worlds. These shows will launch The Nouns Animated Universe with the potential of becoming a mainstream IP with an ongoing series found on distributors like Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon.
Short Shorts is just like before, we do an open call and select the winners. In additioon to open calls we will introduce some fun themes and creative challenges that we can implement along the way. For Bumpers we can experiment more with things like rounds.wtf, nouns.gg, Farcaster v2 frames, and more.
Over the past weeks, we've integrated key analytics for real-time data tracking across platforms, enabling agile decision-making. With this in place, we’ll drive awareness of the Nouns Fest YouTube Network through organic and paid campaigns, aiming for 100K subscribers and millions of views in six months. We'll transparently share bi-weekly updates on ad spend and performance.
Initially, we’ll spotlight animators we've worked with, promoting our current released and unreleased content, and document our selection and commissioning process. As momentum builds, we’ll highlight new animation properties and releases leading into weekly releases. This cadence allows for strategic promotion and showcasing talent.
Although this prop does not include a live event, we're anticipating that the community picks up the ball and we can work together on great Nouns focused events where our animations can be exhibited!
