Davy Liu : Made for Making Art

Kendu Films and The Giant Leaf
Liu began 2000 with a renewed sense of purpose and concentrated his efforts on bringing a new concept to the big screen. During the following four years, he worked on founding Kendu Films. This animation production company offers all kinds of artistic media services to big-name clients from Pixar and Disney to Sony and Coca-Cola. But the company is also constantly working on its own projects: children's books that will eventually become feature films. Kendu films aims to create stories that build character by telling Bible stories from animals' perspectives.

The Giant Leaf, for example, tells of three animals that chase their dreams and accidentally discover their salvation from a flood. Those familiar with the story of Noah using a boat to save Earth's creatures from a global flood recognize the book's roots. With the success of this children's book, Kendu Films hopes to complete the movie version by 2012. Liu is convinced he has discovered his life's purpose.
So he produces admirable artwork and inspiring stories to lead others to discover their own reason for being.
