MUNNY!! (A KIDROBOT MOVIE)

Live-action/Animation Hybrid Feature Film (MGM)

Writer | Director

MUNNY!! is a live-action/animation hybrid feature based on the international designer toy and collectible brand Kidrobot. I was hired to direct the film for MGM, with Aversano Films and Capacitor Films producing. Over the course of development, the project has continued to evolve, with new script work, visual development, concept art, and animation exploration helping shape a bold new “pop-art punk-rock” take on the world and characters. As with many studio projects, the path to production has taken a few weird turns, but the enthusiasm for the material remains strong.

Early integration test done for initial pitch. (*Not final character design.)
