Viola Davis is set to executive produce climate activist Maya Penn’s original animated short, “Asali: Power of the Pollinators.”
The action-adventure short film, which marks Penn’s directorial debut through her company Upenndo! Productions, features the 22-year-old’s own animation.
“’Asali’ made sense as our first major production because it integrates two of my biggest passions — animation and the environment,” Penn said in a statement. “My goal with Upenndo! is to dive into new worlds that reflect the interconnectedness of people and our planet, from a story-driven and action packed perspective.”
“Asali” follows a group of pollinators and an environmental scientist as they uncover secrets in hopes of saving their home from a deadly force. The animated short is executive produced by JuVee Productions’ Julius Tennon alongside Davis.
