For Eva the Owlet Apple TV+ partnered with the late Dr. John F. Evans, a writing clinician, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach at Duke Integrative Medicine, and the founder and executive director of Wellness & Writing Connections, LLC who served as the expressive writing expert on the series through Apple TV+’s Changemakers initiative. The series was one of the last significant projects he worked on, hoping to inspire young viewers to write, to find their voices, and to believe in themselves.
Eva the Owlet’s colourful world of Treetopington and splendid cast of characters were “animated” to life in 4K thanks to the brilliant work of our Brown Bag Films Dublin-based production team.
“Eva The Owlet was such a wonderful show to work on. The teams in Dublin and Bali were fantastic and gave it their all (gave it their owl?). Working with Scholastic, Apple and the writers was an absolute joy, everyone came together to make something wonderful, and I could not be prouder of the show.”—Damien O'Connor, Supervising Director
