Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

WHEELS & ROSES is a Sailor Moon meets Roller Derby YA animated coming-of-age series. The story centers on our protagonist Sahara, and her Magical Roller Derby team WHEELS & ROSES! Set in a world of magic, we follow Sahara (protagonist), Danielle, Nina, Kai, and Bree, as they learn what it means to grow as a team, and overcome all odds to become the champions.
Throughout the series, we’ll see how each of our characters learns how to build meaningful relationships and explore who they are as individuals. While most of the show will take place in arenas where bouts (AKA games) will be held, we’d also like to show our characters’ lives, to get a better sense of their different lived experiences. This show is unapologetically queer! Unapologetically soft! As well as unapologetically tough– ’cause duh, roller derby!
Let’s just say this story was created by the power of magical girls and sports anime!!
Our ultimate goal is to make a fully animated 22-minute pilot episode.
Depending on what financial goal we hit though, we may end up creating either a trailer, or an animated short film, heck or even a graphic novel! The more we fundraise, the more animation we can make! I hope you’ll be a part of this journey to bring this story to life.
As of January 30th, this project has raised $4,300 of their $90,000 goal. This project has 30 days left to raise the $90,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $15, you will get the pilot download. For a pledge of $25, you will get the director’s commentary.
