Celebrating our 6th Anniversary
Celebrations are in order! Ladies and Gentlemen join us in celebrating our 6th Anniversary today! We really appreciate and are grateful for your support! In this article we highlight just the major milestones of the previous year, but to us, each day is a blessing and we are more than honoured to interact and engage with you every day, so check out our previous year:
1. Animated a video for King Charles’ Coronation Celebration
Yes you read that right, and we also could not believe it too! At the top of list of achievements was the opportunity afforded to us to animate a video that was played at the official coronation celebration at the british ambassadors residence in Zimbabwe. We worked on a piece called “For such a time as this”, a collaborative piece with the amazing poet, Rutendo Denise Mutsamwira, under the digipoems initiative organised by Kay Media and the British Council. Words fail to express our gratitude and joy to be afforded such an honourable opportunity! Kuda was also invited to attend the official celebration!
It was an amazing experience, and it was truly an honour to have managed to be apart of it! You watch the animation we made, as well as Kuda’s vlog on his experience at the appendix section of this article! (bottom of the page)
2. Journey of the Forsaken
We sucessfully launched our Animated Series, Journey of the Forsaken and we are happy to say the reception exceeded our expectations! Upon release, the show managed to get 4 News articles and a feature on prime time news on 3ktv! The show also managed to gather a lot of public attention, generating engagement statistics of about 14 000 organic engagement! We decided to polish up the show and will re-release it at a later date with more for you to enjoy!
Journey of the Forsaken is supported by the British Council Cultural Economy programme, which supports cultural organisations, festivals, artists, and creatives between the countries of SSA* and the UK to create art, build networks, collaborate and develop markets and share artists’ work with audiences.

The above milestones are just a few highlighted victories, there is much more to celebrate and we are truly thankful.
