Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen Pushes International Expansion (EXCLUSIVE)


Defying expectation, but still making people laugh a lot, Adult Swim rolls into Annecy to court international talent.

Adult Swim also screened a clip from a third debutant series director: Gonzalo Córdova’s “Women Wearing Shoulder Pads,” an ‘80s Ecuador-set telenovela about a businesswoman campaigning for people to stop eating guinea pigs and start adopting them as pets. Three years later, he championed and co-founded Adult Swim, serving as its first creative director at launch and co-creating one of its earliest shows, the cult favorite “Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.” “YOLO” out of Australia, “Women Wearing Shoulder Pads” animated in Mexico and we have “Rick and Morty Go Anime.” But we very much want to see Adult Swim originals coming from anywhere in the world and for [creative talent] not to be trying to give us an American show.
