APTI partners are delighted at the participation of respected animation writers and mentors Penelope Middleboe and Martin Lamb. Middleboe and Lamb of the UK based company Right Angle have written and script edited around 90 animated films. They work solely in the areas of adaptation and fiction for adult and family audiences and are respected for their work on projects that embrace cultural diversity. They are currently completing the world’s largest co-production, the 39 part series, Animated Tales of the World. Their works includes the Oscar nominated Canterbury Tales, the Banff winner, Moby Dick and BAFTA winner Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
The APTI workshop follows on the selection of 16 writers from across the country. These writers had submitted their projects to a national call for 3 minute animation film concepts for children. Intensive script and production development will result in 13 short films due for broadcast and distribution early 2007.
