Kenya and South Africa Join Forces on ‘Boy Boi’ Animation
We’re excited to announce that Pungulu Pa Productions, together with Boy Boi Productions (Kenya) and Mollo Animation Academy & Studio (South Africa), have officially kicked off a cross-continental partnership on the production of the highly anticipated pilot episode of the 2D animated series, Boy Boi.
Boy Boi is a new 2D animated comedy following six-year-old Boi’s fun, action-packed and comedic Nairobi-based adventures with his family, friends & a few unexpected guest! The series is created by writer and director Njogu wa Macharia, and co-produced by Sarah Mallia.
“This partnership exemplifies what we stand for at Pungulu Pa Productions - creating content and experiences that make space for authentic African narratives to shine”
“Boy Boi is a deeply personal story, inspired by my own childhood, and with our partners, we have an opportunity to bring this story to the world”
“Mollo Academy and Studio is excited to be part of this groundbreaking initiative that promises to redefine the African animation landscape. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing local talent and producing content that is not only globally competitive but deeply rooted in African narratives and aesthetics.”
This production and collaboration is supported by France Création Africa.
Stay tuned for more updates!
