Carl Reed
Carl Reed, producer of the Academy Award®-winning short Hair Love, has launched Composition
Media – a diverse and forward-thinking animation studio with an innovative approach to making
animated film and TV content for a global audience, with much of the content highlighting minority and
underrepresented communities.
Reed’s St. Louis-headquartered studio launches with a slate that includes two animated features and an
animated kids TV series. The two movies are Bad Grandmas — a feature film co-produced alongside
Steve Harvey’s East 112 and Sky & Luna,”a co-production with PoC Studios and Man of Action
Entertainment.
Bad Grandmas is a 2D animated adult-comedy film that follows a closely-knit group of unfiltered older
ladies as they attempt to stay relevant as they age. They party, get Brazilian Butt Lifts, go to nightclubs
and show how 65 is now the new 25. The movie is a cross between The Boondocks and The Golden
Girls, with a talented cast of comedians. Bad Grandmas celebrates the idea that it's never too late to
have fun and be young at heart.
Animated feature Sky & Luna represents the first movie in an eight-picture slate partnership
Composition Media has with Labid Aziz’s PoC Studios. In Sky & Luna, lonely 11-year-old Sky has finally
found a new best friend who is out of this world…literally. Luna is a shapeshifting alien sent to Earth to
explore the planet. Instead, she is hunted by a top-secret government organization tasked with
eradicating extraterrestrial threats — an organization run by Sky’s own mother!
On the TV front, Composition is adapting the popular and critically acclaimed board game Catapult Feud
into an animated television series of the same title. Catapult Feud is a kids television program about
two feuding families, the Cunningfields and the Chauforts, who compete with catapults and conspiracies
to conquer each other and rule the Kingdom.
