Our take
Founded in 2005, Acamar Films is a London-based independent creative studio producing entertainment that serves the needs of young children, including the Emmy-winning international hit, ‘Bing’.
The reputation of Acamar’s team speaks for itself, led by Mikael Shields, known for identifying, developing and producing successful animated franchises, including the Oscar-winning, ‘Wallace & Gromit’, and Bafta-nominated 'Pingu'. The company is internationally renowned following a partnership with Prime Video, as ‘Bing’ can now be consumed in 130 territories worldwide, and is shown in USA and Canada following its partnering with Spotlight Licensing.
After recent funding, led by Wealth Club, and hiring of a new Director of Communications, Acamar are investing efforts and money into introducing ‘Bing’ to a greater number of audiences across new markets, including Japan and China.
