How do you source for the channel?
We source Shut Up! Cartoons everywhere. We go to film festivals, reach out to YouTube creators, traditional animation people and writers, but all based on the fundamental premise that everybody who has worked in the animation space has a passion project that they really want to make that no studio would ever want to make. Those are the projects we’re looking for. We’re looking for programming that we feel could have a second life on television or in merchandise.
