Mariem is a short film documentary.

Javier Corcuera showed us the documentary short he was working on, and before he could even ask us for anything, we insisted on being a part of it… so we pretty much saved his life.

We’ve always believed that animation pairs really well with documentary filmmaking, and that’s what we aimed to contribute to this project: a visual, emotional, and animated boost. It was all orchestrated by our director, Joaquín Alme, who worked in almost mystical harmony with Javier.

Sure, maybe we’re a little biased, but I think the passion and soul that each participant brought to the table, which Javier skillfully brought together, resulted in a perfect piece of work.

If you get the chance to watch it in the future, we hope it moves you as much as it moved us. Projects like this remind us why we love animation.

Pedro Pico y Pico Vena is a one-page comic series created by Carlos Azagra for the weekly magazine “El Jueves” in 1984. It stars a skinhead and a punk.

We received an enticing proposal at our studio that presented an interesting technical challenge: adapting Carlos Azagra’s work, Pedro Pico and Pico Vena, into an animated TV series. During the time we had it in our hands, we put great effort into developing the technical, artistic, and economic of a series that had it all: A renowned piece that stood the test of time, full of cheekiness, with a unique aesthetic, social and with a lot of humor. Yes, exactly what people would call a classic.

However, as the ancients say, not everything glitters is gold, and unfortunately, we had to leave the project in its initial development phase.

In animation, sometimes projects don’t see the light of day for one reason or another. In this case, it’s a shame to keep it locked away and not share a glimpse of what could have been. Let’s consider it a fanart and tribute from our studio to Azagra’s work.
