For Animation Filmmakers:
SHORT FILM SUBMISSION
- Have an animation short to premiere/feature online, and need a comprehensive presentation (in the form of interview/review)? Zippy Frames is a trusted independent animation news website, which has featured a vast array of short animation films, from the more narrative to the outright experimental ones. Send us your film for consideration
⇒ Here's more info how to submit
STORY DEVELOPMENT SERVICE FOR ANIMATION PROJECTS
- We address the story aspects of your animation film; we examine its theme, plot structure, characters, context, in accordance with your already stated idea and director's own intentions. We come up with solutions to story problems you face, and provide examples of fine practices for your project.
CONSULTANCY FOR ANIMATION SHORTS
- Animation festival submission seems both a laborious and a mindless process for independent animation filmmakers. We can make the process seem more structured, less laborious and more promising for the festival career of your film - handled by the same people who manage Zippy Frames (via Scheriaa Productions)

FESTIVAL PROMOTION
