This is the trailer for our (unproduced) series projet IRL Squad! The synopsis is as follows:

"Ivy, Renata, and Lulu are addicted to "Wonderfighters Online": the most popular game in the world. They're also best friends, even if they've never met in real life. One day, they sneak into a hidden level and a mysterious creature is unleashed that releases all the game's monsters (or Wildbits) into the real world. Including their Wildbits: Fango, Chess, and Bun. Together, they'll figure out a way to bring all the monsters back to the game before the world falls into chaos. At least now, the real world won't be as dull as before!"

I always joked that it was my "reverse Digimon", as I created it for my love of it and Pokemon. It was going to be a very slice-of-life comedy series about growing up and learning how to confront the "real world".

We finished this trailer in August 2019, but we didn't want to release it until after we had pitched it everywhere. And now, sadly after pitching it everywhere (and we do mean EVERYWHERE) we weren't able to sell it as a series but we wanted to share with you the trailer, so you can see all the hard work everyone put into it. We're still in love with this story and characters and we hope that in the future we can make it a reality but for now, we're letting it rest.
