Kid Koala Talks Processing Grief Through ‘Space Cadet’ as His Debut Feature Sells Wide: ‘People Keep Telling Me it Made Them Cry’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Kid Koala talks about processing grief through ‘Space Cadet’ as his debut animation sells wide for Urban Sales.
The animated feature – screening in Annecy’s Contrechamp section – has shot for the stars in multiple territories for Urban Sales, selling to BAC Films (France), Filmin and Vercine (Spain) Benelux – Periscoop (The Netherlands), JEF (Belgium), Eksystent (Germany), Filmladen (Austria), Folkets Bio (Sweden), Angel Films (Denmark), Fivia (Ex Yugoslavia), Alfazbet (Japan), Hope Content (Taiwan) and Aeon Entertainment (Vietnam). Even at six years old, I remember thinking: ‘When I grow up, I want to create this kind of energy in a room.’ My career has taken different courses, but at its heart, there’s this idea of sharing fun and emotion, and creativity, and bringing people together.” As Kid Koala, he has toured with Radiohead, the Beastie Boys and Arcade Fire, he’s contributed to soundtracks for “The Great Gatsby” and “Baby Driver” and composed music for Cartoon Network, Sesame Street and Adult Swim.
