EXCLUSIVE: Former WNBA star Angel McCoughtry’s McCoughtry Entertainment is getting into the animation game via a partnership with production company Digital Epic Studio.
The aim is to make film, TV, digital media and branded content in the short and long form animated space. Digital Epic Studio, a former marketing agency set up in 2019, is led by founder and creative director Ahmad Hamass.
McCoughtry Entertainment says it will lead the slate from a creative standpoint while Digital Epic Studio will handle production. The partners say the development slate includes a feature, animated shorts, and formats for digital platforms.
“Our goal is simple,” McCoughtry Entertainment said in a statement. “We provide animation that meets people where they are — whatever the vision, whatever the style, whatever the platform.”
As we previously reported, two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time All Star McCoughtry is lining up her feature directorial debut, a thriller called Apt 6B. Her debut short film launches on Amazon this month.
