Former Paramount, Reel FX Exec Jared Mass Launches Chalkdust Animation Studios’ First Project, An Animated C.S. Lewis Adaptation (EXCLUSIVE)
Mass, former head of Reel FX Originals and VP of Paramount Animation, is developing 'Boxen: the Childhood Chronicles of C.S. Lewis.'
Financing for the first season has already been finalized by Noble Road Media, a new Atlanta-based organization formed by Michael Carney, who will executive produce with Mass and Vincent Sieber-Smith, co-director of The C.S. “I found the workflow, combining traditional animation tools with the Unreal Engine and live-action mocap, to be like a new art form,” he explained to Variety during a conversation at this year’s Annecy Festival. In 1986, HarperCollins published the stories, which were later re-released as “Boxen: Childhood Chronicles Before Narnia.” The new series will use those books as a guideline to create a kid’s show with depth and morality that will introduce young people to the fantasy adventure genre.
