Assemblage Entertainment is an Indian animation studio based out of Mumbai, founded in December 2013, by industry veteran AK Madhavan (fondly known as Madmax)[1]. The studio creates world-class animation productions for major Hollywood studios and other independent production companies from around the world.

Background

Barely 18 months into its existence, Assemblage produced a few DVD series; the most prominent of them being the Oscar-shortlisted animation film called Alpha and Omega (film series).

In September 2015, Assemblage Entertainment completed work on its first feature animation film, Blinky Bill the Movie, a full-length feature film co-produced by Flying Bark Productions, Telegael [2], Screen-distributed by Studio 100 Animation and StudioCanal. Assemblage Entertainment was the co-producer of the film; which made its debut in Australia and Europe. The film was directed by Deane Taylor.

In January 2016, the animation film Norm of the North opened in 2400 screens with a worldwide release by Lionsgate, and earned $27.4 million at the Box office in the US Markets. The film was developed and co-produced by Lionsgate, Splash Entertainment, Telegael and Assemblage Entertainment. Canadian Animation-Film Director, Trevor Wall, directed the film.

Starting with a team of fewer than 20 artists in the suburbs of Mumbai, the company has grown rapidly into a studio of over 280 people, working on full-length features for global audiences. It has established itself as a leading independent player in animation, with numerous projects from global producers. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai mentioned Assemblage Entertainment as forbearer of their Google Cloud Platform [3]at the GCP Next Global User Conference on 23rd March, 2016[4]. Digital Studio 100 has also listed Assemblage Entertainment as the top in Animation in India for the 3rd year in a row.

The company also experiments with different types of film making. Recently, it ventured into short-film making with Living Idle [5], created by Mr. Ramana P.M.V. This short film has received accolades by winning 26 international awards at various Film Festivals across the globe.

Assemblage Entertainment encourages fresh talent and works along with them to create quality animation content.
