Somewhere in the dark, a man is in a trunk. Wrong man, wrong trunk — and the clock is ticking. Not Sam is a dialogue-driven 3D animated short film premiering June 2026, made by just two guys - Pixix Productions, from Seoul. And we need your help to finish it.
We've already finished the hardest parts of making the film: 2 months of screen writing, basic sound design, and character design. It will take about two more months to complete production, plus one month of post-production before release.
[About the Film]
Title: Not Sam
Genre: Crime-Comedy
Language:
English
Runtime: 3~4 minutes
Synopsis: Jake Brennan and his
daughter Mae have the wrong guy in the trunk. The right guy — the one
who sold them out to everyone who'd pay — is still out
there.
Warning: Explicit Language

[Wait, About Us?]
Pixix Productions is a two-man indie entertainment company based
in Seoul, South Korea, producing music and video art, and this short
film is going to be its first set of work to show the world. Come. See
what we see.
[You're Not Just Investing in a Film]
It might be a 3-minute indie short film made for fun to someone,
but we are picturing much bigger. This film "Not Sam" has
some of the newest and most complex CG techniques inside and lays the
foundation for Pixix's creative direction. So, you'll become the first
one to witness and be a part of the beginning of something bigger.
[What You'll Get]
We're not asking you to invest for financial returns. You'll
have better than that.
Depending on type of contribution, you can
even be listed in IMDb database along with credit section of the
movie, and even the basic level of contributor will get a digital card
working as a unique poster of the movie.
So, we'll create. You
take the glory.
[How Much Do We Need?]
Seven professional-grade programs. One minimum wage. You do the math.
We've kept costs lean by building everything in-house using 7 programs: Unreal Engine, Blender, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Davinci Resolve, Cascadeur, CLO3D, and Photoshop.
Also, we've self-funded roughly $500 in virtual assets: The car, building structure, voice acting, textures, fabrics and basic designs for garments, including subscription fees to several professional tools.
As mentioned, we've already done the hardest parts, and all we need is $4,296 - roughly one person's minimum wage in South Korea for three months. These two guys at Pixix Productions are working day and night to make it through without being paid at all.
To do the production and post-production, we still need to finish Directing, Virtual Camera Work, Texturing, Lighting, Hand-crafted Animating, Hair & Garment Simulating, Sound FX, Audio Mixing & Mastering, Color Grading, Editing, and Video Mastering.
If the contribution exceeds what we expect, we'll put it toward festival submissions, and you'll be the first to know through our Instagram and X.

어딘가 어두운 곳, 한 남자가 트렁크 안에 갇혀 있습니다. 잘못된 사람, 잘못된 트렁크... 그리고 시간은 흘러가고 있습니다. Not Sam은 2026년 6월 초연 예정인 대화 중심의 3D 애니메이션 단편 영화로, 서울 출신의 두 아티스트로 구성된 Pixix Productions가 제작중입니다. 이 작품이 세상에 나올 수 있도록 후원해주세요!
이미 제작에서 가장 어려운 부분들은 끝났습니다. 2개월간의 시나리오 작업, 기본 음향 디자인, 그리고 캐릭터 디자인을 마친 상태이며, 모든 프로덕션 단계 완료까지 약 두 달, 그리고 공개 전 후반 작업에 한 달이 더 걸릴 예정입니다.
[작품 소개]
제목: Not Sam
장르: 범죄-코미디
언어: 영어
러닝타임:
3~4분
시놉시스: Jake Brennan과 그의 딸 Mae는 트렁크에 엉뚱한 사람을 가뒀다. 진짜 잡아야 할, 돈을
받고 그들을 팔아넘긴 그자는 아직 밖에 있다.
주의: 욕설 포함
[제작자 소개]
어서 오세요! 우리가 보는 것을 당신도 보기를 원합니다. Pixix Productions는 대한민국 서울에 기반을
둔 2인 인디 크리에이티브 듀오로 음악과 영상 예술을 제작하고 있으며, 이 단편 영화는 세상에 선보이는 첫 번째 작품이 될 것입니다.
[단순한 영화 투자가 아닙니다]
누군가에게는 재미로 만든 3분짜리 인디 단편처럼 보일 수 있지만, 저희는 훨씬 더 큰 그림을 그리고 있습니다. 이
영화 "Not Sam"에는 최신의, 그리고 가장 복잡한 CG 기술들이 담겨 있으며, Pixix의 향후 창작
방향성을 위한 토대가 될 것입니다. 즉, 여러분은 무언가 더 큰 것의 시작을 가장 먼저 목격하고, 그 일부가 되는 것입니다.
[후원 혜택]
현재 저희 Pixix는 재정적 수익을 위한 투자를 요청하지 않습니다. 그보다 더 좋은 것을 드리겠습니다.
후원자께서는 후원 타입에 따라 IMDb 데이터베이스와 영화 크레딧에 이름을 올릴 수도 있으며, 가장 기본 단계의 후원자께서도
영화의 유일한 포스터로 활용 가능한 디지털 카드를 받으시게 됩니다. 저희는 만들겠습니다. 여러분은 영광을 취하세요.
[목표 금액은 얼마인가요?]
목표 금액은 한국의 최저 임금 1인 기준 3개월치로 계산하여 $4,296로 책정하였습니다.
Unreal Engine, Blender, Pro Tools, FL Studio, DaVinci Resolve, Cascadeur, CLO3D, Photoshop 이라는 프로그램을 동시다발적으로 활용해 사실상 최소 7명이 고용되어야 하는 스케일의 제작비용을 최소화하여 제작할 수 있는 회사는 현재 Pixix가 유일하다고 자부할 수 있습니다.
또한 자동차, 건물 구조물, 성우 녹음, 텍스처, 패브릭, 의상 기본 디자인 등 가상 에셋에 이미 약 $500를 자체 투자했으며, 여러 전문 툴의 구독료도 포함되어 있습니다.
앞서 말했듯, 가장 어려운 부분은 이미 끝났습니다. 현재 저희 팀은 단 한 푼의 보수도 없이 밤낮으로 이 작업을 이어가고 있습니다.
연출, 버추얼 카메라 작업, 텍스처링, 라이팅, 수작업 애니메이팅, 헤어 & 의상 시뮬레이션, 음향 효과, 오디오 믹싱 & 마스터링, 색보정, 편집, 영상 마스터링 등의 작업이 프로덕션과 후반 작업을 완료하기 위해 아직 남아있습니다.
목표 금액을 초과하는 후원이 모인다면 영화제 출품에 활용할 예정이며, 가장 먼저 인스타그램과 X를 통해 알려드리겠습니다.
[함께 진행 상황을 확인하세요]
위의 스크린샷에 이어, 저희 멤버 Julian이 SNS에서 영화 작업 진행 상황을 정기적으로 업데이트할
예정입니다.
