NOMINT wins an EMMY!

Dear lovely friends,

We just won an Emmy.  

At approximately 9:14 p.m. on an October Saturday in 2025, NOMINT ascended.

We are now Emmy-winning NOMINT, a more evolved species of animation production company. Sphinx-like and forged in purest gold (but don't worry, we remain remarkably agile for a live Sphinx cast in solid gold). We’re fancy now, like raisins were in Victorian times. We remain approachable, but it's probably best not to look at us head-on lest the reflective glare paralyze you.

Our stop-motion short A Kingdom Christmas Story: Hail Merry won an Emmy in Arts & Entertainment – Short Form Content.
Our first.
The gateway Emmy, if you will. 

It’s a strange and beautiful thing, to spend weeks sweating over frame upon frame of craft, only to have it validated by a small golden statue with wings. We are, of course, humbled. But also impossible to be around right now.

We hold massive gratitude for the Kansas City Chiefs, who somehow looked at a claymation Christmas fable about football and said, “Yeah, that’s exactly what the world needs.”

This was a great collaboration with a brilliant brand. They trusted our approach, championed the craft, and brought an energy that carried through every stage, making the whole process feel as fun as the result. And with legendary NOMINT director Dario Imbrogno and his team of celestial tiny-world architects working their beautiful brand of stop-motion magic, every frame found its own little heartbeat. 

Before the Emmy, we were NOMINT, a studio powered by the kind of creative bravado that rattles cutlery. Now we picture scenes straight out of World War Z, with agencies and clients swarming our gates in fierce pursuit of work bearing the unmistakable glow of Emmy-anointed NOMINT craftsmanship.  Perhaps we should brush up on duct-taping magazines to our forearms and throwing Pepsi cans as a distraction.   

Here’s to narratives that surprise, collaborators that elevate, and moments that make it alllllll feel worth it.  🥂

With love (and one Emmy),

Team NOMINT
