Made this trailer inspired by Paralympian Blake Leeper.

the idea was to treat his prosthetic legs less like “symbols” and more like actual characters annoyed, competitive, exhausted, funny, sometimes supportive, sometimes not.

We were trying to make something that felt human and messy instead of polished inspiration content.

Curious what people here think, especially if anything feels false or off. Or if you think we've completely lost our minds.

Goal is to inspire the next generation... but we keep being blocked in Hollywood so trying to do it ourselves. Thanks for watching!

Tried selling this as an animated feature a few times. Came very close... but it never worked out.

So we finally just made the trailer ourselves using AI tools + traditional editing. I kinda want to produce the whole thing now with AI. Our Hollywood deals fell through b/c we wouldn't turn over the IP.

It’s inspired by Paralympian Blake Leeper, except his prosthetic legs act like two burned-out buddy cops constantly talking to him.

Made in about two weeks.

Curious if this feels like a gimmick or if there’s actually a real movie here.

Made this trailer inspired by Paralympian Blake Leeper.

It’s an animated feature idea about competition, identity, pressure, and the strange relationship he has with his prosthetic legs... which we imagined as two washed-up buddy cops constantly talking to him.

Tried to make something that felt emotional and cinematic instead of a standard sports biopic.

Curious what Paralympic fans think. STRIDE TRAILER

Almost solid this in Hollywood 3x times. Deals kept collapsing because we wouldn’t hand over the IP. So we finally just made the trailer ourselves.

It's an animated film inspired by Paralympian Blake Leeper where his prosthetic legs act like washed-up buddy cops.

Curious what you smart peeps think. Does this feel original, and remotely possible, or have we completely lost our minds?
