Today’s Podcast: EP. 1600: Filmmaker Kyle Arneson (Meevil the Weevil: Breakfast of Champions)

Meevil the Weevil: Breakfast of Champions, 4min., USA
Directed by Kyle Arneson
Meevil the Weevil is a little bug with big dreams of being a stuntman. “Breakfast of Champions” mixes stop motion animation with live action footage where we follow Meevil’s thrilling ride across a 1970s breakfast table on rocket roller skates.

https://www.instagram.com/stunt.bug/

Get to know the filmmaker:

What motivated you to make this film?
The film came about after developing the character as a hesitant hero with big dreams of grandeur. It’s strongly inspired by the stunt men and women of the 1970’s and 80’s that I found so captivating back when the world was a little more shag-carpeted and wood-paneled. During this initial creative period I lost my father unexpectedly and it was at some point in the haze of the grieving process I realized that the relationship between Meevil, and Olis, his coach, mirrored that of my relationship to my father. So with that guiding light, the ethos of the project became clear and bringing it to reality became a goal for me as a way to honor my dad.

From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
From idea to final prduct this film took 3 years to make. Nothing happens fast in stop motion animation, the puppet had to be designed and built, all of the props and sets were hand made and the entire film was shot one frame at a time.

How would you describe your film in two words!?
Nostalgic fun!

October 2025 Film Freeway Testimonials for the ACTION/CRIME/MYSTERY Festival

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

I loved how much these guys offered in terms of additional resources to help get the word out about their selected films. It was a really fun experience to be interviewed and to have film watchers give their notes on the film via recording.


More expensive than many festivals but more benefits to the film maker and their team. Looking forward to see what comes of this coordinated effort.


I am so impressed. I didn’t get my review and wrote inquiring about it. They resent it within the hour and actually called to make sure I received it. The feedback was perfect for my mystery story, where you want to tell enough but not tell too much to keep the story going. I will be sending more mystery screenplays their way. Meanwhile, I can hardly wait to see their reading of 2-4 pages in March or April.


So excited to be part of this festival. They were very helpful and encouraging. I especially love the feedback section and how quickly they communicate with you so you are right on top of it all. The festival offers valuable extras designed to boost your film’s visibility and reach a wider audience. It has so far been a very positive experience and highly recommend them. Thank you,
