Said Fabian in a statement to Deadline, “It’s a thrilling time for us as a directing duo. We share a common vision for filmmaking, and feel it’s time to tell stories as independent creators. We look forward to working with Anonymous Content as we step into this new era of collaboration.”

Oldenburg went on to note that the duo is “passionate about telling stories that are both visually stunning, emotionally resonant and push the bar for the medium of animation. We’re looking forward to collaborating with other studios and artists and the support of the Anonymous Content team as we work to bring our visions to life.”

Over the years, projects on which Fabian and Oldeburg have teamed have been showcased at festivals across the world. In the realm of solo projects, Fabian recently garnered a nom at the Primetime Emmys for his dramatic feature MLK: Now Is the Time, showcasing the key themes of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” Speech to highlight the systemic inequities that persist in our society. Oldenburg won an Academy Award for directing Best Animated Short The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, more recently exec producing the live-action/animation hybrid series Lost Ollie, from producer 21 Laps, which premiered on Netflix last year.

Since 1995, the pair have also served as founding members of Reel FX, Moonbot Studios, Flight School Studio and most recently, the immersive theatrical experience, Department of Wonder. They continue to be represented by Newhouse Porter Hubbard Law.
