... Nicolas Escbach launched Indie Sales two years ago and has become one of France’s leading purveyors of arthouse animated features. The company indeed won this year’s Cartoon Tribute for best European distributor. ...
“Zucchini” is one of the four animated features on Indie Sales slate, along with Anthony Roux and Jean-Jacques Denis’ vidgame franchise-based “Dofus – Book I Julith” (in production), Raul de la Fuente and Damian Nenow’s “Another Day of Life,” Xavier Picard’s “Moomins on the Riviera.” ...
So how many arthouse animated features have you seen lately? Not a whole lot, I'm willing to bet. But niche animated features are abundant in other parts of the world. And when production costs are (relatively) low, and one of these features connects with audiences in France, Italy or Brazil (to name a few places) then profits are made.
A cartoon creator doesn't need to get picked up by, say, the Weinstein brothers to get into the black. S/her needs only to connect with the audience that attends screenings of pictures without comic book super heroes and princesses waiting for love's first kiss.
