Producer Charles Sharp-DeWitt described the show as, “One part Sister Wendy art history lesson, one part Snooki bitch-slap.”  He went on to say, “While I can’t yet share with you the actual jury member names and affiliations, I can tell you we have six well known industry veterans from six different countries, who have all won major festival awards with their own work.  They’re experts in traditional and CG animation.  They’re also known to be obnoxious, demanding, opinionated and difficult to get along with.  Many are socialists who bathe infrequently and smoke unfiltered cigarettes.  All the ingredients needed for a tempestuous animation festival pre-selection process.” He then added, “I can tell you we have a French animator who is also a published film critic and historian. On his Facebook he lists his occupation as ‘artistic waste removal’ and his hobbies as ‘fine dining, fine wine and reducing animators to tears.’  He’s a complete ass. Put him in a room with others, while the camera rolls, it makes for fantastic television.”
