THE PEOPLE

THE STORY

After years in the media biz, Adrian Bishop decided to follow his true love of animation and bring amazingly talented animators together to produce the types of projects they really wanted to work on. So, in 2007 he founded BLOOM and started his mission to change the Colorado animation industry and make Denver a hub for media creation and production.

With his background in production for broadcast and interactive media, Adrian saw an opportunity to take advantage of the changing landscape of media production and delivery. He began to tap the remarkable animation talent in the Rocky Mountain area, who brought with them experience in creating high profile TV commercials, shows and feature films, having worked for PBS, Fox, Disney, Cartoon Network, ILM.

Bloom currently works with top Denver agencies and has pitched show concepts at Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.
