Animaginary Partners With Gersh To Rep Worldwide Rights On Michael Mankowski’s ‘Getting Lost’ Animated Series
Canadian animation studio Animaginary has partnered with the Gersh agency to handle global distribution rights for three interconnected adult animation projects created by writer-director Michael Mankowski. The lead project, an R-rated feature film called Getting Lost, features voice work from Kevin Smith, Dan Aykroyd, Russell Peters, and Kim Basinger and blends psychedelic comedy with experimental animation techniques including hand-drawn and stop-motion sequences. The feature is currently in production with completion targeted for later this year and a planned premiere at Sundance.
The representation deal also covers a companion television series titled Getting Lost: Lost Tapes, which expands the narrative through a secondary character's collection of hidden VHS recordings from past adventures, and a Bollywood-inspired animated spin-off called Not That Indian that follows a different protagonist. Both Mankowski's feature and television projects are produced by Mark A.Z. Dippé and John Schneider, with Eric Garofano serving as executive producer across all three works.
