Hoping to serve as a catalyst for social change and cultural awareness, Hungary-based DIGIC (Love Death & Robots: The Secret War) and Axis Studios (Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, Love Death & Robots, Happy!) have merged their creative energies to co-develop and produce Worlds Apart, a four-quadrant animated fantasy aimed at the full spectrum of viewer demographics.
According to their press release, Worlds Apart is a rich fantasy adventure taking place in a land fractured by two feuding brothers with conflicting ideologies as war brews. One brother is driven by order and discipline, while the second is preoccupied with an abundance of magical frivolity.
“We are very excited to bring Axis Studios on board in this groundbreaking partnership,” says DIGIC CEO Alex S. Rabb. “Combining our creative forces and vast production experience to create Worlds Apart, an animated feature that illuminates the significance of unity in a divided world. Our collective aim is to inspire audiences to embrace acceptance and celebrate diversity, fostering a shared vision of a more harmonious future.”
DIGIC’s production facilities craft cinematic trailers and in-game cutscenes for video game universes like Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Destiny, Witcher, and Final Fantasy. Their exceptional horror short, The Secret War, was one of the highlights of Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots Season 1 and was presented with an Annie Award for its superb visuals.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Alex and the DIGIC team as we work together to bring Worlds Apart to life,” adds Axis Studio CEO Richard Scott. “This collaboration unites two creative groups with shared ambitions in storytelling. I firmly believe that by combining our capabilities and skill sets, we will create a formidable creative force that will make Worlds Apart a fantastic combination of timeless storytelling, fantasy, magic, and action.”
DIGIC and Axis Studios plan to shop this ambitious project to interested parties by the end of 2023.
