It's official: AIR Films director Matthys Boshoff and his creative collaborator Carina Stander have made it through to the first phase of the Triggerfish Story Lab with their project 'Fish out of Water'. The Story Lab, an initiative by Triggerfish Animation Studios, Disney and the DTI, has been set up to develop scripts by African writers for animated feature films and TV series. Triggerfish received an incredible 1378 entries from 30 countries across Africa. The entries have been evaluated by industry experts like the writer of "The Lion King" and the co-founded of Aardman Animations, the four-time Oscar-winning studio. The first phase takes the selected 35 projects through an intensive workshop after which 6 projects will be selected for further development under the guidance of key studio executives. If all goes well some of the projects will make it to production. Well done to all the selected projects and their writers! Thank you Triggerfish Animation for an incredible opportunity. We look forward to seeing results from the Story Lab on the big screen!
