9 OPENS IN THEATRES NATIONWIDE ON 9-9-09

While 9 was made using CG animation tools and technology, as director Shane Acker notes, "It's not the technology that adds richness to the images, but the artists using the technology".

To that end, the 9 artisans went to work at and with Canada's largest feature animation studio, Starz Animation Toronto. Fortuitously, Starz had recently expanded its operations with a state-of-the-art 45,000-square-foot facility in downtown Toronto. So it was that in early 2007, production on the feature version was underway and Acker was back - full-time, this time - in the world that he had created.
