The official website for “Indigo Ignited,” first project for Japan-based, American-run animation studio D’Art Shtajio, began streaming a trailer for the upcoming five-minute pilot film on Thursday.
D’Art Shtajio will be the main production studio, though the project was initially tied to Bang Bang Animation, where Thurlow previously worked.
Arthell Isom, his brother Darnell Isom (Avatar, Pacific Rim, TMNT), and Thurlow established D’Art Shtajio to act as a bridge between the Japanese animation industry and outside markets.
The staff plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign to release the anime on Blu-ray Disc and DVD.
