Pie in the Sky follows Aya, a young Indigenous woman from Oklahoma, and Pie, a small robot drawn to the human-made remnants of a fractured future.

As Aya carries a grief too heavy to face alone, Pie is pulled toward the songs, memories, and traces of humanity left behind.

Together, they form an unlikely friendship — and discover that even in a broken world, connection can still be found.

At its heart, this is a story about what keeps us connected when the world we knew is gone.

Because the world is getting faster, more automated, and less certain of what is human-made.

At the same time, connection feels harder to reach — connection to each other, to our past, to our surroundings, and to the art that once carried the unmistakable mark of a person.

Pie in the Sky speaks into that moment.

It’s a handmade stop-motion film about a robot reaching back toward the human world — toward old songs, forgotten places, and the evidence that someone was once here.

But at its heart, this is not a story about looking backward.

It’s about what happens when Pie and Aya find each other in the present — and discover that hope is still possible when we choose to be fully here, with the people and world right in front of us.

Because this film is the next chapter of a story Oklahoma already helped start.

Loud Cloud was built here — shaped by the community, infrastructure, support, and possibility that exist in this state.

The progress we’ve made is proof that world-class creative work can grow in Oklahoma.

Pie in the Sky is that same dream taken further: a homegrown studio building a handmade feature film, right here, with the place that made it possible.

Oklahoma is in a defining moment.

Our cities are growing.
Our universities are training talent.
Our entrepreneurs are building.
Our creative community is rising.
And in 2028, Olympic events will bring the world’s attention to Oklahoma City.

The question is not just what people will see when they get here.

It’s what we’ll show them we’re capable of.

Pie in the Sky is currently in active development.

We’re producing a short teaser, developing the feature-length screenplay, building the visual world, and beginning early conversations around financing and long-term partners.

The teaser is our next major step — a proof of concept for the tone, craft, and emotional world of the film.

We’re working toward the first fully realized stop-motion animated feature produced in Oklahoma City, and built to stand alongside the best animated films in the world and compete at the highest level.

But the bigger dream is what it creates along the way:

Creative jobs.
Student pathways.
National attention.
A reason for Oklahoma artists to stay.

A handmade story this state can rally around.

Right now, we need momentum.

Share the project. Make an introduction. Start a conversation.

We’re looking for people who believe Oklahoma is ready for a story this big — investors, civic and university connections, film incentive advocates, creative collaborators, and anyone who can help open the right doors.

For generations, Oklahomans have built things bigger than themselves.

Now, we’re building a story.

Frame by frame.
By hand.
In Oklahoma.
