A TRUE FREITAG STORY BY ...

The young animation studio CraveFX from Singapore has given us the hero’s journey of a tarp longing for a better future. The eponymous “Tarp” may not have a plan, but it has big dreams and it’s going to keep on trucking till it achieves them. It dreams of a better, more exciting, more glamorous life after its time on the road. Thanks Alif, Berlynn, Chuck, Debbie, Joshua, Khoo, Lai, Muhammed and Tammy.

DUST ROAD RENEGADES is made by Acid House. The small studio, run by Ivan and his wife Pauline, is located in the middle of Manila’s glitter and grime. Their five-year-old son Grey also put his stamp on the film: the characters are based on his drawings. It makes sense that their From Truck To Bag story about the FREITAG production process pays tribute to the Philippine commuter trucks known as jeepneys: after all, they're an integral part of the hot, humid metropolis’s loud, chaotic commuter traffic. Thanks, Ivan and Acid House!

Victoria Jardine and Ines Pagniez are a Stuttgart- and London-based animation collective. They first met at secondary school in France with braces on their teeth and Doc Martens on their feet. Then, a few years later, they both studied animation direction at SUPINFOCOM. And they are the very first artists whose “about” segment we simply copied and pasted because it’s so cute. More cuteness to follow.
