Have you gotten weary of trying to be authentic in a world full of cookie-cutter creativity, all trying to win the algorithm game?

If so, you're not alone, and one animation director is fighting to change that with a unique battle plan - a jazz-playing cow.

John Lumgair, an award winning animation director out of London, has worked on many projects with major studios, but his passion is sharing his love of art and music through his animation work. But even he struggles with the battle to get noticed when the social media landscape rewards style over substance. His new animation project, Jazz Cow, puts that battle into a fun and unique package for audiences to enjoy.
