We won! Congratulations to an amazing Pan-African team for making this production such a a success. We are so proud to be part of this team, thanks !

It's bitter sweet in Mic's memory, but we are so proud that this is part of his legacy!

And awards aside, hearing how this show is tangibly impacting kids lives for the better, no gold statue can come close. But an Emmy is nice, not going to lie.

Never has the start of a week seemed so daunting as this one. Michael, my friend and business partner, co-founder and director of MAAN Creative, passed away suddenly on Friday 6 May.

Mic was an incredible force. He valued relationships and always looked for a way to connect. He was the glass half full guy. He had a head full of big dreams and the tenacity to chase them.

Although I mourn his absence, I celebrate having known a true friend and ally.

Congrats to The Animation School's class of 2020 (especially Thabo Mosia who is now part of our very own Team Sam).
One of our directors was asked to do the commencement address and, this being COVID times, it ended up being pre-recorded. The unintended bonus being that we can now share it with you…

Commencement Address for The Animation School class of 2020.
