Lofty Sky Entertainment

Lofty Sky Entertainment is an independent Canadian entertainment and digital media production studio based in Toronto. Its work spans documentary features, factual television, animation, narrative video games and virtual reality, with an emphasis on cross-platform storytelling. The company develops original intellectual property and produces projects for audiences across film, television and interactive media.

Established around 2010 as Mark Media Corp., the business initially concentrated on children's digital educational content and cross-cultural animation. Its early work included Miaomiao, a multilingual animated property accompanied by Mandarin language learning applications. The company rebranded as Lofty Sky Entertainment at the beginning of 2017 as its activities expanded into feature documentaries, television series, games and immersive experiences.

Its factual television series Confucius Was a Foodie explores food and culture. The series has been broadcast in more than 100 territories, including through PBS, NatGeo People, ARTE, CBC, RTL and Canal+. The studio's production activities also encompass post-production management and international distribution and licensing.

Through its internal games division, Lofty Sky Games, the studio develops narrative-driven interactive entertainment. Shuyan Saga combines a graphic novel format with martial arts combat.
