Teenage girl gets deal with studio to make animated series

(WITN) – A 15-year-old girl recently struck a deal with a major studio to create an animated series.

Kaila Love Jones signed to Surfing Giant Studios and is currently producing an animated short titled “The Power of Hope”.

Jones is from California but has family in North Carolina.

For her short film, Jones received the Best Young Filmmaker award at the Indie Short Fest and former First Lady Michelle Obama posted a link to the film on Instagram, which is about a young woman who wants to become an architect.

Jones was shocked she didn’t reach so many people and she hopes it inspires others to pursue their dreams.
