Pinreel is the Los Angeles animation studio founded by director Adam Paloian to make his original projects: author-driven cartoons that are expressive, innovative and made in house with a handpicked team.
In development
What’s next is all original.
Over the past two years, Pinreel has built a slate of original series and features, each with its own story, characters, production design and style of animation. This year Adam has been taking them to the major studios, and we’re also open to independent financing and international co-productions.
Pinreel was built to get past the studio and vendor systems that hold good projects up. Adam writes, directs, designs and produces, so each project gets a pipeline shaped around it and a crew to match: specialists from around the world and new artists we train, bringing techniques that have never shared a full-length production. The goal is to push animation somewhere new.
