Koala Man was likely one of the funniest shows I got to work on. While I’ve coordinated with over seas studios many times prior to this, it was the first time I was truly partnered with another studio. At the time, Bento Box Animation just acquired the Australian studio Princess.

It presented a unique challenge in my career, which was to work with this awesome studio closely, but with a time delay and from a distance. Our systems we able to handle the distance as Covid had recently hit a year prior, but we needed to move fast to integrate princess into the Bento pipeline’s, softwares, and other day to day operations.

However, any stress that was presented by that challenge was easily mitigated by the truly talented staff of Princess, and their eagerness to work together. All ended well, and left a series that actually manages to hit home with both Americans and Australians!
