Benny and Boil in the Pyrenees

We are at the CARTOON Forum in France this week, presenting our children's series concept Benny and Boil to broadcasters and distributors from all over Europe. Our presentation was yesterday and it went extremely well, with around 130 people attending. This is where the hard work really starts, however, as we pull together the various elements in order to fund the project. A really strong start though.

Get meshed
