Begun as a 'garage' stop-motion project in the 1990's, MAD GOD was resurrected in 2009 when a team of animators at Tippett Studio discovered Phil's old footage and became impassioned by its sincerity and stark, laborious style. On volunteered nights and weekends, this next generation of filmmakers gathered under Phil's direction to breathe new life into his dark, incredible masterpiece. This makes Phil Tippett's MAD GOD nearly 25 years in the making.
MadGod is mostly funded by a wildly successful fund-raising campaign through the micro-donation site Kickstarter. The Kickstarter raised more than $120,000 - more than triple the initial goal.
