Behind the Scenes of Stop the Bleeding!: A Sneak Peek into the New Season
The beloved animated series "Stop the Bleeding!" returns this fall with its latest season, "We’re Here & We Matter." Produced by Believe Limited, the series continues its mission to educate and inspire by focusing on the unique experiences of women living with hemophilia.
In this season, Rachel and her new friend Jess start a podcast to bring much-needed awareness to the challenges faced by women with hemophilia. Featuring live action real life guests from clinicians to community members, the girls dive deep into the facts and myths of what people's lived experiences are living with both a uterus and hemophilia. And they can't do it without the help of Riley (Producer/ Rachel's twin), Liam (Camera/ Little brother) and their pet Squirrel (lighting/ miscreant). As if creating and hosting a podcast wasn't stressful enough, Jess challenges herself to share her own personal journey living with hemophilia. But what will happen when Jess starts to fall for a boy in her theater class? Will she have the courage to talk to him, to go on a date, or even...(gulp) disclose her bleeding disorder to him?
The Believe production team, including writer Bella Gadsby, director Keith Korneluk, and producer Joshua Sterling Bragg, has made significant progress. All scripts have been finalized, and the cast has completed all recording sessions. The rough cuts of the audio are done, and the animation team has moved from storyboards to animatics and full animation.
"Stop the Bleeding!" promises to be a heartfelt and enlightening season, set to release Fall 2024. Stay tuned for its launch and join Rachel, Jess, and the crew as they bring important stories to light.
