Ralphie Saavedra is a student filmmaker whose dreams and goals are as large as the Walt Disney Company.

Having grown up in SoCal, more specifically in Anaheim, Ralphie absolutely loves Disney and Tim Burton films and hopes to become one of Tim's producing partners and grow his company to about Lucasfilm-size. He's also really big into the Goth subculture and music umbrella, his favorite band being the Cure, which is coincidentally Burton's favorite band. Ralphie's favorite internet character is Kenneth Anderson's Marilyn Shine and he wants Ken to get a film based on the character made so bad. More than anything, however, he cares about human rights and the future of the world. Talking Cheetos are his enemy.

For the time being, ChocoChronic Productions is the name Ralphie uses for whenever he makes shorts. His mother came up with the name for his older brother Juan's medical marijuana company (The name being a joke, meaning an addict to chocolate.). Ralphie hopes Juan will revive the company sooner than not.

Kenneth Anderson and Tim Burton's The Last Celt

Although this is his first major film planned, Ralphie Saavedra hopes the Last Celt trilogy will be his and Kenneth Anderson's magnum opus.

Adapted by Ralphie from Ken's entire Marilyn Shine lore and James V. Hart's version of the Dracula mythos from the Francis Ford Coppola film, the trilogy tells the story of a fun and feisty 9-year-old Goth girl named Marilyn Shine. Set in the mid 1980’s, the saga opens when she becomes a vampire. 2 years later, in 1985, Marilyn meets the mystic and friendly giant Meek, who introduces her to the extraordinary world of Golothia and teaches her how to control and embrace her powers. The estranged doctor and business tycoon Adrien Caligari suddenly comes into Marilyn’s life when tragedy begins to strike on her friends and family. As Marilyn uncovers an elaborate mystery and discovers the truth that she is of the Dracula blood and - what's more - Dracula incarnate, she dares to confront Caligari and defend the people she loves most, including Nathan Nomad, the best friend and boyfriend she could ever ask for.

Ralphie has the entire screen story planned out. Other than being in the director's and producer's chairs alongside Ken and Tim, he wants Jim Steinman and Curtis R.X. for the main lyricists, with Danny Elfman, Phil Collins, Steinman, Enya, Hans Zimmer, and Mark Mancina composing. He prefers that Disney and Coppola produce the trilogy over anyone else, though he doesn't mind Warners too much.

Cesar Jimenez

The wise bro, the first of the four I befriended. Like me, you're also an autistic wanting to make films for a living, and we can usually discuss about films we really like. A lot of times, you're there to sway me from taking a concept and going overboard. One might even argue you saved me from making TLC, or any other story, darker than it needed to be! For that, I give you my gratitude.

Kenneth Anderson

The cool uncle. In times I was down, I always looked to your artwork, especially of your character Marilyn Shine, for comfort and joy. Ever since I further viewed the artwork, I saw Marilyn as an embodiment of the youth, living in the now, doing what they love, as my eldest sister Manuela had done. Had it not been for you and the Goth of Tomorrow, I would still have no idea what I was doing with my life.

Crayons Early and Panda Ellis

The fun sister and her chill fiancé. You two remind me of my actual sis and her bf. Often, whenever we have rad ideas for cool projects, we can discuss them with each other and see what works best. Crayons, I think you and I gradually became Goths around the same time, so I guess you're the first Goth I met. You're a great gal with an equally cool creative vision! Panda, you and I should maybe do a collab sometime. You're a cool guy and you've got a good musical style! Congratulations on the engagement, ya two crazy lovebirds!
