Boxtown is the story of a con-man detective Tim Standing (Alex Hirsch) who teams up Bill, a sweet, innocent 8 year old orphan (Sarah Lew) to solve mysteries in the high-crime city of Boxtown.
But Bill the Orphan has a hidden side – when backed into a corner or threatened, he becomes a terrifying, killing machine, able to decimate anybody his path with the murderous zeal and efficiency of a trained killer.
That "ability" comes in handy to Tim as Boxtown is teeming with crazy characters including a menacing King of Crime, a gun-wielding gangster dog, a 1000-year old zombie mafia don, and a host of other colorful mobsters. Because after all…
Boxtown is an indie-animated pilot created by Charlie Gavin, a storyboard artist and writer on shows such as Jellystone, Big City Greens, Strange Planet. The series and character originated in a webcomic he created as a teenager. In 2020, the project was revived as a pitch bible that was intended to be shown to studios. However, after animation the industry took a sharp turn away from originals, the team decided to develop it as an independent web series instead.
In 2023, Alex Hirsch joined the project as the voice of lead character Detective Tim Standing. In 2024, Adam Yaniv (Creator and EP of Wildbrain’s “Summer Memories”) joined the project as Executive Producer, helping to strengthen both the dramatic noir as well as sharpen the comedy of the series.
