The series is created by Filipino Americans Bobby Pontillas and Bernard Badion, and is produced by an all-Filipino team of artists from Manila-based Toon City Animations and Playlab.
The team launched a kickstarter campaign alongside their debut episode to call for financial support to produce future installments of the season.
“Every single frame of Sun Chaser was drawn, animated, and finished in the Philippines. By Filipino artists who gave everything they had to this world,” the team wrote. “Not outsourced. Not assisted. Fully, completely, one hundred percent made in the Philippines.”
