Concept Trailer

Daddy Warblocks is a fictional short film about about loss and acceptance. It tells the story of an artist and philanthropist who gave up on life after his wife died. He never leaves his home, and has his food delivered to him. One night, instead of the usual delivery boy, a strange African man delivers a bag containing magic toy bricks. Once he finds out that the bricks can create life, he attempts to rebuild his family. The effort to reconstruct a fantasy from the past teaches him a valuable lesson about his present and future.

We're working with the #1 Lego artist in the world, Nathan Sawaya, who will be creating life-like statues of our actors. This is something we are very excited to do and it should be very fun to watch the process of these bricks turn into living things.

Make sure to check out www.daddywarblocks.com for more info as well as interviews with the creators and stay tuned here for more updates in the film. I'd love to talk about ways in which we can raise awareness, funds, and quality of our short. Thanks for watching, and we appreciate any comments or support!

If this is a concept trailer, what concept is it showing off? The only way I got that the story had anything to do with your description is from your description. The "concept" trailer tells me that there is an old man, a young girl, a young guy, and a postal delivery worker. And that it involves Legos somehow. Shouldn't your description been apparent in the trailer if it is a concept trailer?

I clearly got that he is building a family out of Legos?

Correct Eric, our protagonist is trying to make a family out of building bricks. Although Nathan is using Legos to build the statues, we can not call them Legos in the film.

As for your question Gary, Daddy Warblocks is a story that was conceptualized during a 48 hour film festival. After the festival, we saw that the story we had was something we couldn't just let go as another small 'no budget' film.

Since then, the story has evolved, we have partnered with Lego artists, and have acquired somewhat of a budget for a story we are passionate to tell. That is why the trailer is simple a concept trailer and not an actual trailer. It is their to show our quality, style, and a little bit of what to expect.
