Moonbot Studios (started in Shreveport, Louisiana in 2010) created the Oscar winning short film The fantastic flying books of Mr Morris Lessmore. Moonbot’s philosophy is “to develop stories as books, interactive applications & games with a compelling emotional narrative and exciting visual aesthetics”.
The fantastic flying books… short film is now available in iTunes ($2.99)

Print version of the story coming soon.
In January they released their new app ($6.49): The Numberlys – “not quite a movie, not quite a book & not quite a game. It is set in a black-and-white world inspired in part by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, where only numbers exist – until five little guys decide to create the alphabet by transforming numbers into letters. To do this they jump on them, spin them, smash them and pull them apart using various tools. The reader/player has to help them.” (LA Times blog 14/1/12)
