10th Ave Productions is pleased to announce that it has been nominated by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television for a 2008 Prix G\u00e9meaux in the \u201cBest animation\u201d category for the series W, season 2. \u201cThis 2D animation series, which will soon total 156 gags over its three seasons, was completely written and directed in French, produced 100% in Quebec City,\u201d noted producer Nancy Savard, \u201cand we are particularly proud that T\u00e9l\u00e9toon Canada was bold enough to support and encourage us in this venture.\u201d<\/p>\n
W is an original Quebec production written by screenwriter and director Pierre Greco, with animation by Christian Daigle and music by Olivier Auriol. Audiences love to laugh at the adventures of W, a shipwrecked boy who manages, with the help of the Cormorant and the Shark, to eke out a life on his island.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt goes without saying,\u201d continued Ms. Savard, who has just returned from the Festival d\u2019animation d\u2019Annecy, \u201cthat the Canadian Television Fund\u2019s additional support for production houses in the Quebec City region is beginning to bear fruit, and the broadcaster was able to take advantage of this opportunity. It is also wonderful to see that a fund for family programming from Alberta, the Shaw Rocket Fund, believes in the potential of our product, and we are very grateful for its assistance. With the support of these investors, we will be able to bring Quebec talent to an international audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The series W are broadcast in Canada on T\u00e9l\u00e9toon; in France, on the Internet via Tribal Nova\u2019s Kid Studio platform on the Orange and AOL sites; and in Taiwan, via mobile telephony. French kids can also catch up on seasons 1 and 2 on the Group Lagard\u00e8re TV network, channel J, in France for the beginning of the next school year.<\/p>\n
