The industry needs long-term capacity and ZOO Academy is listening.
ZOO Academy exists to bridge the gap between the entertainment industry and research world. To equip universities and educators with real-world localization technology. To empower the AVT talent pool. To elevate the future-thinking ideas of industry experts.
ZOO Academy is the non-profit initiative from ZOO Digital, launched to support the future of the entertainment industry’s resource pool.
As the entertainment industry strains under the current volumes of content production, the focus for the academy is to develop expertly trained translators, adapters, actors, and directors, across all languages, who are ready to be successful contributors to the global media localization community.
