Indee Productions rebrands as Paper Owl and lands CBeebies contract to produce animated series

‘Pablo’ by Paper Owl will be the first children’s series to be made about a character on the autism spectrum
Belfast based production company Indee Productions has re-branded as Paper Owl Films and has been awarded a major contract with CBeebies to produce animated series ‘Pablo’ – the first children’s series to be made about a character on the autism spectrum.

Paper Owl Films, whose decision to re-brand was made as a result of the company’s growth and success both here and internationally, produces a wide range of documentaries as well as commercial, corporate and children’s content for film, TV and digital platforms. The creative team developed ‘Pablo’ in order to give children a better understanding of autism.

Grainne McGuinness, Managing Director of Paper Owl Films said: “It’s been an incredibly exciting journey for us since we started the company around the dining room table three years ago. We’re thrilled to be working alongside CBeebies on this project and we’ve also been very lucky to have been commissioned to make a number of programmes including factual documentaries for BBC NI and TG4.”

However, the team equally enjoy working on smaller scale commercial and corporate projects at a local level for a wide range of companies including Lidl, The Welcome Centre and NI Anti Bullying Forum, Grainne continued: “These shorter form projects exercise our creative muscles in a very different way to the bigger broadcast ones, and we love doing them – creating the right content for organisations that we believe in.”

“There are around 700,000 people in the UK with autism and a reported 40% of children on the spectrum experience bullying. Pablo is a loveable five year old boy who uses his magic crayons to turn the challenges he faces into adventures helping him deal with the world with confidence. Our aim is to give young children understanding and empathy with those on the spectrum as they grow and form relationships with each other.”

The team will be attending major industry conferences in Toulouse and Cannes in the coming weeks where they will pitch projects and ideas to investors and broadcasters from 30 countries around the globe.

Grainne continued: “Pablo is just one in a long line of projects we’re working on. We’re really looking forward to attending the international markets and being at the heart of a leading creative hub with companies from across the world and pitching our work at this international level.”
