“When Bugs Fly: Tale of the Nite Kite”

Sebastian is a slug that lives in a wooded-pond community. His best friends include Edison the Firefly, Charli the Caterpillar, Fletcher the Frog, and Dart the Dragonfly. As is the case with many kinds of wood and pond creatures, most of their activities occur at nite.
SEBASTIAN HAS A DREAM — he wants to fly. He doesn’t believe that being a slug — a bug without wings — should hold him back.
“When Bugs Fly: Tale of the Nite-Kite” is the story of Sebastian’s dream and how his friends help him overcome adversity and setbacks and give Sebastian the experience of a lifetime.
The values that underlie and undergird“When Bugs Fly: Tale of the Nite-Kite” — friendship, support, belief, determination, and dreams — are the ones that parents, grandparents, educators, and nurturers hold dear.
The characters in Nite-Kite” are buggy, little representations of ourselves who want to provide the comforts that good friends, loyal cohorts, and caring comrades can offer. So, invite your children, family and friends to follow us to the pond’s edge, stay for the night, and bask in the delight and success of Sebastian and friends.
The vision of the Waterside Production group is to achieve greatness, create excellent content, and provide fantastic entertainment for little ones by creating truly-relatable stories for preschool and kindergarten audiences that teach and define the core values nurtured at home. These instilled values are the ones that will carry our children through their elementary years into adolescence, and then adulthood. Values instilled early guide our children throughout their entire lives. It is our responsibility to ensure that those values represent the epitome of human behavior. Thus, each of our storylines should encourage teamwork, true friendship, and complete acceptance between sometimes-unlikely characters who learn to trust and empower each other to follow their dreams, push toward their goals, and make those dreams come true.

Thanks for your interest in the Waterside Production Group.
