On this episode, Luke and Mark chat to film maker and co-founder of Cartoon Saloon -Tomm Moore.
Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon is a five-time Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, BAFTA and Emmy nominated animation studio formed by Paul Young, Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey. From award-winning shorts to feature films and TV series, Cartoon Saloon has carved a special place in the international Animation industry. The studio is best known for its animated feature films The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner and Wolfwalkers.
Tomm describes how he got involved with animation and how the company has grown over the last 22 years, employing hundreds of staff locally.
Key Takeaways:
1. In the age of the internet, you can build a business anywhere. Kilkenny - a small city in the middle of Ireland can be the base for a business that conquers an industry. You don't have to go to London or NYC anymore.
2. Don't expect overnight success - sometimes it's time in the game that pays off. Be patient and make great work - the rest should fall in to place over time.
3. If you have an artistic child - encourage them as much as possible - they could grow up to be an Academy Award nominee, like Tomm.
4. Focus on your strengths and hire for gaps. Tomm mentioned that they have brought in a very experienced MD to help maintain and grow the business, so the creators can get on with creating.
5. If you're passionate about something, it is possible to build a business and life around that. You don't have to settle for a career you don't like just because it pays well.
