Episode notes

We never thought we'd be able to make a show that involved this much gore and dark comedy, but we just did! It's called "Zombie Safari" & it's Singapore's first adult-animated series about a Zombie apocalypse involving talking animals at a Zoo. We chat with Mark Wee, co-creator and one of the co-founders of Finding Pictures, the animation studio we worked with, as well as Jun Vinh, who played the lead character of Musang the Civet Cat. We talk about the challenges we faced getting the show greenlit, as well as some surprising facts about animation production & voice acting.
