History
Gregg Vanzo founded the studios in a garage in Van Nuys, California in 1991. A year and half later, he decided to leave the country together with his wife Nikki Vanzo to set up a branch on Korea. After three years of work, they had set up Rough Draft, Korea in Seoul, Korea.
After training Korean animators, he went back to the United States, where he met Claudia Katz to be the producer for the studio's first series, The Maxx. Gregg's brother, Scott Vanzo became head of the digital department, while Gregg and Claudia assembled an animation staff.
In 1995, they hired Rich Moore and Bret Haaland as head directors, and moved to a much bigger location in Glendale.
