Minte founder and CEO Brice Poisson says, “With Toon Boom, we will be able to build on our reputation as a major studio that provides complete transparency into its pipeline and processes – as well as provide the highest quality possible.”

Founded in 2014, Minte established itself with an international clientele, experienced in producing original content for Bande Dessinée as well as concept art, colouring and storyboards. Minte’s founders are the team behind its new animation department. Creative art director Josselin Azorin-Lara has 20 years experience in comics and entertainment while Poisson has over 10 years experience as a successful entrepreneur.

When asked about Toon Boom Harmony, Poisson adds, “Harmony will have the greatest impact as we extend our business to doing co-productions with international studios. Combining Harmony with Storyboard Pro and Producer gives us an integrated end-to-end pipeline that will streamline production, ensure deadlines are met and deliver consistency from start to finish.”
