B-Corporation

Sustainability & B-Corp Certification

Everyone wants to create work that makes an impact, but it’s more important than ever to make sure that work is making a positive impact. Blue Zoo Animation Studio and Dupe VFX are two studios that have gone through the rigorous B Corp certification process to measure the impact of every aspect of their business. In this talk, Tom Box (Blue Zoo) and Jonathan Harris (Dupe VFX) will elaborate on how and why they went through that exhaustive process.

Animation Media Cluster Region Stuttgart

FMX would like to thank Animation Media Cluster Region Stuttgart (AMCRS) for their ongoing support, joining the event as a Gold Partner in 2022.

Baden-Wuerttemberg has been Germany’s top location for animation and visual effects for many years. No other federal state has such a high density of animation and VFX studios.

The creative professionals in these studios have received numerous internationally renowned prizes – including Oscars, Emmy Awards, Annie Awards, VES Awards and the Deutscher Computerspielpreis Award.

Behind this remarkable success is the work of the Animation Media Cluster of the Stuttgart Region (AMCRS). The network, initiated by MFG Baden-Wuerttemberg in 2009, consists of more than 30 VFX service providers, animation studios, games and interactive studios as well as universities and academies all based in Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The focus of the AMCRS lies in the development and expansion of strategic and organisational structures. In this way, the MFG promotes the interdisciplinary and international work of these creative professionals.
