A Brief History

 

  “The world of moving images hasn’t had a lot

of respect [in academia], but it’s the major

form of communication in the 21st century.”

 

                                                                                         George Lucas

 

 

The Epiphani Project has been several years in the making.  Our mission is to create animated works that promote themes of peace, nonviolence and respect for life.  We produce quality films for distribution on a variety of platforms, including television, DVD, the Internet, mobile devices and other proprietary user interfaces.

 

Founding producer Greg Singer came to Los Angeles to learn about the art, craft and business of animation.  He has worked in the production management, story development and executive offices of DreamWorks Feature Animation, Fox Feature Animation and Cartoon Network, as well as for such scholarly and industry publications as Animation Journal and Animation World Network.

 

Originally from Washington, D.C., Mr. Singer has a wide-ranging background.  He has worked with UNICEF’s Cartoons for Children’s Rights campaign, NASA’s space life sciences division, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the U.S. Peace Corps, assisting Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.  He has helped to promote sustainable development of the Alaskan wilderness, taught computer literacy among Native American youth, and volunteered with dispute resolution programs and other organizations advocating nonviolent social change.  He also has partnered with nonprofits and universities to empower greater civic participation and to improve health care through innovative new media programming.  Mr. Singer holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Producing for Film and Television, with a special focus on Animation, as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in General Biology.

 

Storytelling is integral to human culture.  As we gather around the modern fires of our cinema, television and computer screens, stories continue to shape our lives and, in their best form, to help us live rightly.  Animation is a unique medium that has the potential to communicate ideas in an accessible and non-threatening way, across a spectrum of age, culture and literacy.  The Epiphani Project is committed to serving the interests of the community through an intersection of visual media and education.
