Trioscope Studios, the animation studio behind the distinctive hybrid Netflix series The Liberator, has entered a co-production partnership with media conglomerate QC Media Holdings subsidiary Quality Films — sibling company to hip-hop label co. Quality Control Music.
Under the deal, Trioscope’s chiefs L.C. Crowley, Greg Jonkajtys and Brandon Barr will partner with Quality Control’s Co-Founders CEO Pierre “Pee” Thomas and COO Kevin “Coach K” Lee as well as Quality Films President Brian Sher to access the media giant’s roster of artists and athletes and develop a robust slate of scripted content.
Known for its next-generation enhanced hybrid animation, which marries human performances with animated environments, Trioscope is already in development with Quality Films on a TV series. The project, based on a graphic novel, is a unique action-horror take on the African-American struggle in America.
Marking the first of a series of co-produced projects, Trioscope says the collaboration underscores the studio’s commitment to aligning with innovative talent to blaze new trails with its proprietary style of animation.
“We’re prioritizing opportunities that redefine how our animated drama platform can shape how stories are experienced,” said Crowley, Trioscope Studio’s Co-Founder & CEO. “Quality Control has revolutionized the music industry and influenced American pop culture monumentally; through our partnership, we’ll create a unique fusion of culture and animation to take television to the next level.”
Lee, Quality Control’s Co-Founder & COO, added, “We are excited to partner with the Trioscope team and technology to tell unique and compelling stories that speak to every facet of the Black experience. This is what Quality Films is all about.”
The news follows an already busy year for Trioscope. In addition to launching The Liberator on Netflix, which reached No. 3 worldwide for the platform, the company has partnered with Dark Horse Comics, Oni Press, Netflix and Unique Features for unannounced projects.
