Nyla and the Treasure of Talents

Author: Pearlette Primus Hannaway · Package: The Legacy

Pearlette came to us with a children's book ready for the world — a beautifully written story about a young Caribbean girl discovering her gifts. We translated it into a 5-minute cinematic animated film, an educational cut for school licensing, and a 1-minute author testimony — all in 10 days.

The result: her book launches in May 2026 with a full cinematic universe already built around it. Used in Caribbean educational storytelling contexts.

"This is more than just a service. It's a partnership that helped bring a dream to life. Nyla is now more than a character — she feels real, authentic, vibrant and full of personality."

— Pearlette Primus Hannaway

The Franchise Extension

From a 5-minute film to an educational series.

When a book becomes a universe, it doesn't stop at the first film. Pearlette's Nyla and the Treasure of Talents has spun into Nyla's Corner — an ongoing educational series built around the same character, voice, and world.

Nyla's Corner

When a character outlives the film.

Nyla's Corner is the educational spinoff of Pearlette's original 5-minute cinematic short. Same character. Same Caribbean world. Same beloved voice. New stories, new lessons, new content for parents, teachers, and the children who first met her on the page.

This is what The Legacy package is built for: not just a beautiful film, but the foundation of an ongoing children's media franchise. School systems can license multiple episodes. Parents follow week to week. The author becomes the holder of an actual children's IP — not just a book.

"We built Nyla as a one-time film. Pearlette saw a franchise. Now Nyla's Corner is teaching kids across the Caribbean — and that's exactly what The Legacy is meant to unlock."

— Quil Thomas, Founder

▶ Just Dropped · The Universe Keeps Expanding

Nyla Explores St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

The newest Nyla episode just landed — a Caribbean travel adventure that takes the same character, same voice, same world into a brand-new chapter. Same author, same studio, still shipping.

Latest Episode

When a book becomes a travel show.

From a single 5-minute film to an educational series to a travel-adventure episode set across the Caribbean — this is what happens when an author commits to the franchise path. The IP keeps moving. The audience keeps growing.

For Pearlette, Nyla isn't a book anymore. It's a children's media universe with new chapters dropping on the studio's release cadence.

"Every new episode is proof: when you choose The Legacy package, you're not buying a film. You're buying a universe that keeps expanding."

May 30, 2026 · Book Launch

Nyla just walked into a launch event.

The character we animated for the screen turned up at the book launch — life-size. This is what cinematic IP is supposed to do: leave the page, leave the screen, and live in the world.

Cecile and Mindy Black

Author: Phoenix Clarke · Package: The Universe

Phoenix Clarke wrote a heartfelt children's story about friendship, courage, and finding your voice. We translated her vision into a fully animated cinematic experience — with original character design, a full voice cast, and an original soundtrack composed for the story.

The author returned with both a written and a recorded voice review — both speaking to a creative process that felt collaborative, magical, and built around the story.

"Working with this team was a dream. They understood my characters, my vision, and delivered something truly magical for our young readers."

— Phoenix Clarke, Author of Cecile and Mindy Black

Author: LaToya Lewis · Package: The Story

An emotive children's adventure about courage, friendship, and finding home. We translated LaToya Lewis's story into a fully animated cinematic short — with Caribbean voice direction, original score, and a launch-ready set of social cutdowns.

Built for an author who wanted their book to live beyond the page. Animation that respects the warmth and emotion of the original story.
