Caribbean animator to produce new children’s TV series

Renowned animator from Trinidad and Tobago, Camille Selvon-Abrahams, will produce a children’s series as part of the Caribbean Tales Worldwide Distribution Production Support Programme.

The series, called ‘Magnificent Maggie’, exposes grade-schoolers to close up inspection of how things work, both in the technical super world and the biological. Lessons include definitions and explanations of terminologies and gadgets all woven into stories of adventure and excitement as Maggie delves into the magic world of microorganism and technology.

Maggie is a positive role model for children especially young girls as she makes new technology less scary. Research shows that boys are more drawn to technology and engineering so this is a way to balance this challenge.

Caribbean Tales Worldwide Distribution, launched in 2010, is a distribution platform for Caribbean film and television content. The Production Support Programme builds on Caribbean Tales’ vision of creating strong, original, sustainable Caribbean film and television content for the international market.

Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) content developer and experienced producer Nick Davis will be joining the Magnificent Maggie Project as Caribbean Tales Executive Producer.
