From the release:

Riff Raff are excited to announce the launch of our animation department, Our Animated Cousin, building on a craft that has long been part of our DNA, and now giving it a dedicated home within our creative offering.

The department is anchored by directors renowned for their distinctive approaches to animation, including Smith & Foulkes, The Sacred Egg, Francois Rousselet, Alden Volney, and our newest addition, Oscar-nominated director Johnny Kelly. Each brings a unique visual language and a proven ability to craft memorable, design led storytelling. In addition to our existing roster we have access across the world to new emerging talent in illustration, concept, puppetry and stop frame.

Riff Raff has long been a leading light in live action crafted, world building, narratives and we feel this new development will cement our dedication to director led craft and establishing new and innovative ways to bring stories to life.

Riff Raff’s Executive Producer & Joint Managing Partner, Tracey Cooper says: “What inspires me most is how animation combines creativity and technology (yes, even AI!) to bring ideas to life in a unique and unforgettable, instantly ownable, way. I feel positively evangelical about the importance of craft in our industry and know that the professionalism, talent and heart that makes Riff Raff what it is, will keep pushing us into original and inspiring animated worlds”.
