Big Bad Boo Opens Offices in Vienna

Big Bad Boo Studios has launched a studio in Vienna, Big Bad Boo Vienna, to scale its efforts in development, production and distribution.

The new studio is already developing four new local show ideas and continuing to work in writing, storyboarding and voice recording across existing shows. Big Bad Boo currently has six shows in development, including Galapagos X.

Other projects in development are season three of 1001 Nights and Judge Jodhi.

Co-founder Shabnam Rezaei, who grew up in Vienna, said, “It’s a pleasure to set up shop in Vienna and begin the process of creating local shows. We have a healthy development slate across three countries now and hope to make great shows with new partners and help bolster the animation industry for the region.”

“Vienna is at the heart of Central Europe and a key location for expansion into Europe, the Middle East and Asia,” added Aly Jetha, co-founder.

The expansion comes after Austria announced a 35 percent tax credit incentive for film and television.
