We are pumped to announce that FISH BOI IS NOW IN DEVELOPMENT with SBS and Screen Australia! Fish Boi is an animated adult dramedy about a disgraced sneaker hustler who takes the leap to save his parents’ bankrupt Filipino mini-mart to reclaim his family’s respect - by going all-in on setting up the biggest underground fish delivery hustle in Western Sydney. Set in the late 90s in Western Sydney’s Filipino community. Fish Boi is KAPWA’s first original series project, led by a Filipino-Australian team, written and directed by Robertino Zambrano, and produced by Dulce Aguilar, Zambrano, and Gabrielle Joosten. It is one of five projects selected for further development from the 10 shortlisted teams who took part in an exclusive workshop hosted by Screen Australia, SBS and NITV in December 2023 as part of the Digital Originals initiative. Thank you to our supporting development team who have boosted us in our writer’s rooms, animation look development, and guided us along the way so far: Clare Atkins (Script Editor), Mark Mariano, Angela Pezzano, Maristelle Tandog, Cosmo Park and Tegan Plahn. And a huge thank you to Barry Gamba and ACE Parramatta for their constant support of the culture. We are thankful to the Digital Originals team at Screen Australia and SBS who have given us this wonderful opportunity and supported us on this journey: Clare Atkins for facilitating the amazing Digital Originals workshop.

1/3 "BRISA"⁠ ⁠ Earlier in the year, we started a project with @nexusstudios that featured a series of stories from dozens of real smokers on a beautifully imperfect journey of quitting for good. For the second part of that project, we created a series of mini loops that feature the stories of Brisa, Mina, and Bobby on their journey of quitting vaping.⁠ ⁠ Each loop is only 15 seconds so we used a different design aesthetic and visual style for each loop to show the different journeys each person was on.⁠ ⁠ Credits:⁠ ⁠ Produced by Nexus Studios @nexusstories⁠ Animation by Kapwa Studioworks @kapwa_studioworks⁠ Design & Direction: Robertino Zambrano @robertinozambrano⁠ Animation: ⁠ "Brisa" - La Finka (@lafinkastudiotv)⁠ "Bobby" - Jeremy Carlen (@jeremycarlen)⁠ "Mina" - Supriya Bhonsle (@soup.kitchn) ⁠ Agency: Duncan Channon (@duncanchannon)⁠ Producer (Nexus): Meredith Cherniak Music by @bammbammwolfy
