'While the madcap adventures of loveable blue heeler Bluey has turned the
Queensland cartoon character into a global superstar, another home-grown
animation powerhouse is also taking Hollywood by storm.
"Creative hurricanes" Kristen Souvlis and Nadine Bates have built the only
female-led and owned animation studio in the country, with every frame
carefully crafted in Brisbane.
They are rubbing shoulders with the likes of Disney, Sesame Street and
Universal Studios, and have graced the cover of the US-based trade bible,
Screen Magazine.
Screen Queensland affectionately calls the duo "Brisbane's DreamWorks" after
helping guide the former children's television producers to international
success.
Beavering away in a humble inner-city studio, Like a Photon Creative (LAPC) has
produced $52 million worth of films in the past eight years.
Chances are your kids have watched some of them, such as fantasy story
Scary
Girl — starring Sam Neill and
The Newsreader's Anna Torv — either in cinemas
or via streaming services.
Or they may have followed the
Tales From Sanctuary City franchise, with the
likes of Australian star David Wenham morphing into an evil tech genius while
Logie winner Debra Mailman helps turn a wombat into a superhero.'
