Original Series and Features
Over the past two years, we’ve developed a slate of series and features for kids, teens and adults, each with its own story, characters, production design and style of animation. We’re taking them to the major studios this year, and we’re also open to independent financing and international co-productions.
Adam writes, directs, designs and produces, and every project gets a pipeline built around it and a crew to match: specialists from around the world alongside new artists we train.
About Pinreel and how we workWe direct through the lens of 2D fundamentals: design, art direction, layout and character posing.
