The Sweet Shop has added animation directorial collective The Frank Barton Company to its talent roster for U.S. representation. A full service boutique, The Frank Barton Company is comprised of creatives from several different facets of the film, CG, VFX, and video game industries.
Founded in 2008, the original team was comprised of seven artists who aspired to craft dynamic, creatively fulfilling content that would allow them to develop their personal passions as part of a larger, unified whole. The result is a body of work that received honors from Cannes, El Sol, and FIAP.
Based in Madrid, The Frank Barton Company has since grown to include 20 artists from a diverse range of visual departments. Sergio Garcia and Ursula Garcia are chief creative officer and executive creative director, respectively of The Frank Barton Company. The team’s combined credits include work on such projects as “The Matrix: Reloaded,” “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,” “Che” and Ridley Scott’s upcoming feature “Exodus: Gods and Kings.” Together, these varied backgrounds have allowed them to create fully realized worlds and characters for brands including ING, Sony, Fiat, Vodafone, and the now classic Vinamilk cows which have remained the face of the brand for the past four years and counting.
Paul Prince is CEO and founding partner of The Sweet Shop. Laura Thoel is managing director of The Sweet Shop USA.
