Stories & the tools to develop them

Characters. Worlds.
Built to become franchises.

We develop a slate of original animated properties designed from the start to travel: story worlds and characters that can grow from a film or series into books, games and consumer products, across markets. Each has its own creative identity and a considered path from development to production.

Slate projects are tested through CAOZ Labs as they develop.

Agentic AI,
built for development.

CAOZ Labs designs and builds agentic AI systems for entertainment development. Coordinated teams of specialist AI agents form a synthetic audience that experiences stories, characters and trailers as viewers would, simulating how real audiences are expected to react before major production spend. Human creative judgement stays in charge.

The team

Industry veterans behind CAOZ

The team

Decades of craft.
Agentic AI built in-house.

CAOZ brings together a multi-award-winning team and advisers, all veterans of animation, film, television and media.

Our work has earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film and international festival awards and selections, including Annecy. We have made animated features and series for international audiences, among them a series for The Jim Henson Company, built and run animation studios internationally, and structured the financing behind major animated productions.

The team’s experience also spans more than four decades in international media with the BBC, The Walt Disney Company and NBCUniversal, the launch of a global children’s channel, and producer credits on more than a dozen international feature films. On the technology side, senior CG leadership at leading animation and game-cinematics studios sits alongside an agentic AI platform designed and built in-house.
