We value our reputation and we are happy to be a part of such major global projects.”
Kathleen Zuelch, Producer of “Da Jammies” at FarCor Entertainment added “We at FarCor are very excited about doing this project with Maya. Da Jammies is a highly successful franchise and we look forward to taking it to the next level and new CG look with such a talented studio.”
Ronald D’mello, CEO, MEL, added “We are taking these projects immediately after recently concluding three very successful large projects, hence the experienced teams will transition smoothly with minimal bench time and we will avoid over-commitment. The order book beyond these projects also looks very strong with additional commitments from Mike Young, another UK children’s’ series pilot and several advanced conversations in TV and new media, beyond this fiscal year.”
