A Pitch for An Angel's Diary

A huge thank you to Alesia for bringing An Angel's Diary to us and for setting the project out so clearly. We at Hollywood Indie Festival are cheering you on as you continue to create. The pitch follows below.

What is the central conflict and unique selling point of your project?

An Angel's Diary is a cartoon about an angel's happy life with her baby angel friends in heaven! From making cotton candy clouds to playing with the stars! The baby angel is called Amelie and she writes down her happy days in heaven in a heavenly diary! That's why this cartoon is called "An Angel's Diary"! An Angel's Diary is an animation that brings joy and innocence to the little children and the adults who have pure hearts. An Angel's Diary also gives a glimpse of heaven and shows the little works in heaven!

Who is the ideal viewer for this project, and which existing films/series is it most comparable to?

I hope to make An Angel's Diary for children, toddlers and youths to watch when they grow up, something like The Toy Story or The Little Pony, and it can be a film that will be with them on their journey with Jesus. Another primary main target group are Christians and the people who love to watch worship songs and videos online. I hope they find the work inspiring and comfortable, and this film can go along with their Bible devotional times and Bible journaling times. It is also a film adorable and safe to show on TV and phones to bring everyone a moment of peace and joy.

What was the primary inspiration behind this story, and why is now the right time for the world to see it?

The filmmaker believes that the world needs more Christian films and videos, and the film industry needs more positivity. This film brings the innocent and pure voices of the angels to the world and the film industry. It is just the right time for the world to see it, as this film receives 7 honorable mentions and official selections in different LA and Hollywood film festivals. It is also the winner in Best Animated Film in Berlin Film Awards 2026. The vision is simple, creative, original and beautiful. It is a beautiful short film for the world to watch. I hope the animation can represent a theme - a gentle, soft and a meek animation with beautiful vision and cute characters.

Is the project fully completed, or are you currently seeking distribution, finishing funds, or representation?

This film completed by now only has 5:47 minutes. It is like a trailer and the filmmaker gives everybody a glimpse of what it is like if we finish the whole production with industry professionals. It does not have any funds yet. It is an AI film and made by a filmmaker who is not in the film industry. We need more resources (like funds) and professionals to make the film a business product or something more professionally made, like a movie or an everyday cartoon on TV channels. But I think it is a good try from a social worker and theology graduate who wants to bring the world more heavenly visions.
