Background
In September 2015, Assemblage Entertainment completed work on its first feature animation film, Blinky Bill the Movie, a full-length feature film co-produced by Flying Bark Productions, Telegael.[2]
Starting with a team of fewer than 20 artists in the suburbs of Mumbai, the company has grown rapidly into a studio of over 280 people, working on full-length features for global audiences. It has established itself as a leading independent player in animation, with numerous projects from global producers. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai mentioned Assemblage Entertainment as forbearer of their Google Cloud Platform [3] at the GCP Next Global User Conference on 23 March 2016.[4]
The company also experiments with different types of film making. Recently, it ventured into short-film making with Living Idle.[5]
