Episode 104 - TAIKO Studios & One Small Step

Welcome back ASPers! We have a very special episode for you. This week, Josh is joined by Jerrod Maruyama to chat with Shaofu Zhang (Founder) and Andrew Chesworth (Head of Development) from TAIKO Studios about their short film 'One Small Step'. We discuss leaving Disney to form Taiko, the Chinese animation industry, why they wanted to tell the story of 'One Small Step', and much more. Did we enjoy the film? What influences do they draw from? When will the short be available? Tune in to find out!
