A.R.C have recently released Pacemaker - a trans-positive 3D animated musical short starring Tony Award-winning Alex Newell (Glee, Shucked) and Philip Lawrence (Bruno Mars) - after a successful festival run, directed by Christopher Lennertz and Brian Vincent Rhodes. Further information is available here. The full film can be seen here.

A.R.C have recently released the Effie Pappa-directed stop frame animated series 'All in a Day's Work' for Mailchimp and It's Nice That: an animated series of comedy shorts revealing the ups, downs, and sometimes painful truths of life as an entrepreneur or small business owner. More information on the series is available here. The full series can be viewed here.

Wider musically-themed, socially skewed animation feature films are currently in development.

Working with streamers and broadcasters, our in-house documentary development (whilst not limited) skews towards character-driven stories in sports, the arts, the environment, boasting a slate of film and series projects.

A.R.C’s production services across animation, documentary and short form commercials include creative and production development, producing and financing, drawing on a network of artistic, producing and financing talent globally.

A Running Commentary seeks to unearth and nurture unique, untold stories in society, culture and the arts through which we aim to ask deeper questions about the human condition today with entertainment and swagger.
