More than just a presentation, this visit was a meeting of creative minds and industry leaders, leading to in-depth discussions about the future of Vietnamese animation. DeeDee not only shared its passion and creative vision but also reaffirmed its position on the global animation map, alongside Vexa and Avalook, two brands within the Sáng Ý Group ecosystem.

This remarkable event was not just a memorable milestone but also opened doors for future collaborations between DeeDee Animation Studio, Annecy Film Festival, and MIFA. These are two major players in the global animation landscape - one being the world’s most prestigious animation film festival, and the other a leading marketplace connecting producers and investors worldwide.

Further emphasizing DeeDee’s impact, Mr. Mickaël Marin mentioned the studio in a press conference on February 21st, 2025, regarding the development of Franco-Vietnamese animated cinema, recognizing DeeDee as one of the standout Vietnamese studios in terms of animation quality. This reinforces DeeDee’s growing reputation on the international stage.

This invaluable meeting would not have been possible without the dedicated support of Jeremy Segay - Regional Audiovisual Attaché at the French Embassy in Vietnam, who played a key role in fostering this connection and facilitating new opportunities.

Once again, DeeDee Animation Studio extends its sincere gratitude to our distinguished guests for their time, insights, and invaluable perspectives. With such promising prospects ahead, could we soon see DeeDee at the Vietnam Pavilion in Annecy Film Festival and MIFA this summer? Stay tuned for the exciting journey ahead!
