Whether it's animated comedy or serious live-action production, Pig Apple has always been about one thing: making the kind of stuff that we'd want to watch.
We met as college students, producing sketch comedy for our dorm's public-access cable channel. Today, we are Brooklyn-based storytellers with over sixty years of combined experience and a track record of turning challenging briefs into standout content.
Our comedy background wasn't just fun — it was training. Comedy demands perfect timing, clear character motivation, and understanding what keeps audiences engaged. Those same principles drive every Pig Apple production, whether it's a 30-second spot, a complex VFX sequence, or an animated short. We may have grown up a bit, but we haven't grown boring.
Want to work with us? Get in touch!
Howdy! We're Pig Apple.
