The Very First Feature Film I Ever Made

 


Little-Mister's Magnificent School Year (2022) is a stop-motion animated family film that I wrote, directed, edited, produced and animated. It features two scamps living in the south coast of the U.S.A. together, the boy (Little-Mister) is thoughtful and has a tender heart and loves macaroni and cheese, his twin sister (Little-Sister) has a tender heart, but also has an attitude. The animation is mainly paper cut-outs like Blue's Clues and South Park, but the title cards are toy and food stop-motion animations. The voice acting was mostly done by me, but also my mom and her co-worker. Unfortunately, the film is nowhere to be watched publicly, it's not lost, I just like to save it for when there comes times I show it as a limited release. I tried to enter it in three film festivals, but as proud of me as they were, they didn't pick it. However, in Charleston, West Virginia, there's a cinema that plays independent films and my Aunt Jennifer asked them to play it for me. One of my mom's best friends also let me play it in her classroom and all the kids loved it.

I'm looking towards making an animated series with these characters, be sure to check out the pilot I put on YouTube for my subscribers.

This is the absolutely true story on how Colton Leach Films came to be! This was originally a video, but I took it down because it got a copyright strike (I'm not always careful with that unfortunately). It all goes back to 2008, my third grade year, I had enjoyed watching behind-the-scenes featurettes on DVDs for years. I actually didn't go to the movie theater very often, I watched older movies on DVD and Blu-Ray a lot. I enjoyed watching Lego stop-motion animated films, I was a member of the Lego club and the Lego Club uploaded an interview with a man named "David Pagano" who made Lego short films, that's what inspired me to be an animator. That same year, I got a desktop computer and I discovered something that changed my life forever; Windows Movie Maker, it was revolutionary for me because I could make whatever I wanted, almost everyday I made films with it especially with a camcorder my mom bought for me! But I didn't make actually good films until I ...

I went to Cosmic Holler Film Fest 2025

Yesterday I went to the third annual Cosmic Holler Film Fest and I had more than a blast! I entered my film Pasquale Dickinson in it, but they didn't pick because the leader of Cosmic Holler said I would have a much better chance of being picked if it was a short film and that's what I'm going to do. My next short film is TBA. Anyway, my favorite films were Autumn Spooks , which just had old timey Halloween plush toys as the characters, and Wolf Moon Rising , which was just predator with werewolves! Cosmic Holler Film Fest was at The Cinema at Camp Landing in Cannonsburg, Kentucky. I actually met the director of Autumn Spooks, who's from Flatwoods.
