Big fan of your stack, please accept my sincerest praises.
I wanted to draw your attention on Pakistan's first hand-drawn animation movie 'The Glassworker'. It's slated for release in summer this year after years of labour.
Mano Animation Studios based in Pakistan is behind this pioneering effort, involving collaboration with artists across the world. The founder Usman Riaz was deeply influenced by Studio Ghibli and even had the good fortune to meet Hayao Miyazaki himself.
Always love hearing these stories of people making the absolute most of small budgets by making smart artistic choices - there's a lot to learn, whether you're indie animator or a big studio exec!

Wonderful interview with Ed Bell, what a neat career and an epic early project in Big City.
I just watched this video. Such good memories from an era of groundbreaking modern animation and music!

LOVE the FACE from Big City!
Another brilliant piece. I really like the round up part as it highlights, to me, the global reach of animation.
