TheWrap: Maker Studios has signed Adi Shankar to a first-of-its-kind deal that calls for the multi-channel network to fully finance three digital projects that the filmmaker will direct over the next two years. The first project will be an untitled animated project based on an original idea by Shankar that involves superheroes in developing countries. The second and third projects are in development for 2016. “Shankar is the Quentin Tarantino of the digital generation, so it was only natural that he would land at Maker Studios.”
