Gary Louca’s independent animation project ‘The Spirit of Toronto’ is stirring up a buzz with its ambitious production model.
Taking a grassroots approach to creating an X-part series, Louca is proving that it is possible to create high-quality content without backing from major studios. The show follows a man across time and across the world, with settings varying from Ancient China to the Wild West.
Louca is the showrunner and is also co-writing and producing the soundtrack, which showcases an exciting mix of genres and styles. The visuals of the series were brought to life with the help of Thayen Rich, who has worked on major projects such as Triangle, Creep, and The Wedding Date.
Fans can now experience the unique story told by Louca with the release of the first episode of ‘The Spirit of Toronto’, free to view on YouTube. Accompanying the debut of the show is the single ‘Memories’, a pop classical crossover ballad featuring Louca and operatic duo Trovatori. This powerful track further cements the impact of Louca’s independent production and its potential to become a major player in the animation world.
