French Animation Distributor Eurozoom Inks Strategic Alliance With Special Touch Studios, Takes Four Titles to Annecy Animation Festival (EXCLUSIVE)


French Japanese animation distributor Eurozoom has partnered with French animation producer Special Touch Studios, led by Sebastien Onomo.

“We both share the same passion for animation and want to tell bold stories with a particular attention to professional diversity,” said Eurozoom’s CEO-Founder Amel Lacombe, who added that they were jointly working on a six-animation feature lineup. We are immensely proud of our feature film selections and of our nine Annecy prizes, including two Cristal awards for best movie with ‘Sita Sings the Blues’ and ‘Lu Over the Wall,’ said Lacombe, who pointed out that Eurozoom has been a pioneer in the distribution of Japanese animation pics in France since 2005, with more than 50 released in French theaters. “But Japan is not our only focus; we are also proud of our collaboration with Canada and especially with Nancy Savard from 10e Avenue Production (“Katak the Brave Beluga”) and Olivier Picard and David Pierrat from Parce Que Films (“When Adam Changes”),” noted Lacombe.
