Cinemanix Taps Artist Chris Yambar for TV, Film Properties

Cinemanix Productions has entered into a partnership with Chris Yambar aimed at bringing the comic book worlds of "Mr. Beat," "El Mucho Grande," "Suicide Blonde," and other character creations by the comic creator and pop artist to the world of animation and live action films.

The Cinemanix Productions team of artisans and technical creatives will utilize its Motion Capture Stage, animation, and Visual Effects Production area to work on developing Yambar's characters into programs and features that will be marketed to TV, online interests, and the motion picture industry.

Cinemax Productions CEO Bryan Scibelli said that he has already found enthusiasm and interest within the industry for Yambar's characters. "Chris Yambar is a one-man idea factory," says Scibelli. "Typically, with any kind of animated story, any type of project you take to the big screen or into episodic cartoon animation, it all comes down to the story and writing first. What we're dealing with here are characters that have already lived in the print format and who are ready to literally walk out onto the animation stage and into the mainstream."
