Arcana Studio’s Sean O’Reilly: Bringing Storyworlds To Life
When Sean Patrick O’Reilly created Arcana Comics in 2004, who knew that he would ultimately become Canada’s largest comic and graphic novel publisher and work with the likes of Stan Lee, Gene Simmons from KISS, Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton, and Christopher Plummer, to name a few.
Well, anyone who ever met the man knew. With 5,000+ characters and over 300 titles, Arcana is the mini-studio that could, that became the ultimate creative machine that did. His animated and book titles include: Kade, The Clockwork Girl, Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, Pixies, and Pandas and Aliens.
In this interview, he talks about running an animation studio in the middle of a pandemic during lockdown, how persistence pays off when finding someone to help you get your film off the ground, and some of the ins and outs of creating animated films.
