Summary

Mychal Simka is the writer, director, and producer of “re-versioned” animated features, meaning he takes movies produced abroad in non-English languages and adapts them for American audiences primarily through editing and rewriting dialog. In the past, Mychal produced three to four feature-length animated films for the home entertainment market annually in cooperation with Lionsgate and partner Grindstone Entertainment. He recently acquired a state-of- the-art music recording facility and is planning on launching SuperDope TV, a new online program that will feature short animated and live action series starring the biggest online influencers.
