COMPANY PROFILE

ArtFarm holds a special place in the Philippine animation industry as having produced a groundbreaking animated feature called “Kuwentong Kayumanggi” (stories of the Malay race)—a special selection of Filipino myths, legends and stories.

As a training provider, ArtFarm has gained a name as a pioneer in professional animation training. The ArtFarm Animation Scholarship Program is a nationwide undertaking and is funded by Pilipinas Shell Foundation, our corporate partner-sponsor. ArtFarm has produced over 300 animation training graduates in the past 3 years. Outside the scholarship program, Artfarm is also the training provider for Toon City Animation Studios and has trained 53 of their employees last year.

The company has a 10-year track record as animation service provider, having done two (2) full-length feature films for foreign production outfits —one through a collaborative tie-up with Premiere Productions, headed by Mr. Cirio Santiago; the other, an animated feature called Anak Anak Sidek for a Malaysian animation studio—Destinasi JAS. In the past year, ArtFarm has served as 3D animation provider for a leading Japanese game company in 2005.

In the Philippine domestic front, ArtFarm has had a wide range of TV commercials, advocacy and film making projects.

Advocacy projects include converting 5 award-winning children's books of Adarna Publishing House into animated multimedia—“Ang Pambihirang Buhok ni Racquel”, “Chennelyn, Chennelyn”, “Manik Buangsi”, “PenPen de Sarapen”, “Nemo: Ang Batang Papel”. Others are infomercials on Tuberculosis Awareness for World Vision Foundation and e-Gobyerno for the Philiipine Senate Committee on e-Commerce. Other unreleased works are animated advocacy ads in support of the “Clean Air Act” and “Anti-Piracy”.

Involvement in the local movie production was with Unitel Pictures in "Pinoy Blonde" and "Nasaan Si Francis?"

Most recent self-produced work is an animated music video entitled "Alcohol" for Radioactive Sago Project, acclaimed by the local music scene as having set the new standard in music video production.
