Located in Burbank, California, Crest Animation Productions is the U.S. subsidiary of Crest Animation Studios in Mumbai, India. Formerly RichCrest Animation, CAP has been producing animated content for film and television since its establishment by Richard Rich in 1986. Mr. Rich spent several years at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation Division before starting the company, and has become a prolific producer of animation with over 6 features and 60 home videos produced to date.
Under the guidance of Noah Fogelson and backed by production financing from D.E. Shaw, Crest is expanding its business to become a full-service animation studio. The fund infusion puts Crest in a position to provide the financing to develop and produce intellectual properties for worldwide distribution across theatrical, television, home entertainment and interactive media. The expansion of its development and production teams will also increase the number of projects the studio greenlights for production.
Crest is currently in production and development on a number of CGI animated feature films, the first of which will be distributed theatrically in 2009. The creative department continues to be led by Mr. Rich, who is shaping the creation of a new generation of memorable characters and family-friendly stories. With an eye for the innovative and a long history of technological experience, Crest is positioned to become the new standard of developing, producing, and distributing animated films that will be watched by audiences of all ages for generations to come.
