The
studio provides animation producers with a one-stop facility
for planning, producing and marketing original animated properties
for distribution worldwide. In addition to the facility itself,
the KOCCA Animation Studio will also provide an experienced
project manager to oversee each project throughout the production
and marketing process. KOCCA Animation Studio will
become an important part of the infrastructure that will improve
animation-producing capability in Korea.
KOCCA
will select projects for the non-profit facility, providing
selected producers with the studio’s production infrastructure,
office space and production expenses. The producers will not
need to remit for any of the services provided by the new
KOCCA-managed studio. Two shows among the first 41 applicants
have already been selected and production will begin during
the first half of 2006. An additional ten projects are to
be produced with additional funding throughout the year. Initial
projects to be supported by the KOCCA Animation Studio
are expected to be named shortly.
 Suh
Byoung-Moon, CEO of KOCCA stated, “The KOCCA Animation Studio
underscores our deep commitment to supporting the opportunities
of Korean animation producers and furthering Korean content
throughout the world. The KOCCA studio provides Korean animation
producers with a world-class production facility and a highly
trained and experienced staff, all designed to help Korean producers
transform their creative
ideas into reality.”
Fostering
the growth of the creative content industries in Korea under
the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, KOCCA actively promotes
Korean companies involved in animation, character licensing,
music, comics, games and mobile and internet content by serving
as a global bridge between Korean content providers and international
partners.
