Kevin Lerdwichagul

Kevin Lerdwichagul is an entrepreneur and the co-founder, with his brother Luke Lerdwichagul, of Glitch Productions, an independent animation studio. The company's own About page says it was founded in 2017 by the brothers in their Sydney bedroom, with the aim of changing the way the west creates teen and young adult animation. Around 2016 Kevin observed the SMG4 channel that Luke had been running since around 2011 and saw the potential to form a business around its wide audience, and he later joined SMG4 as a full-time writer and producer while Luke took on a directing role. The studio grew from that start into an animation company of more than 250 staff that describes itself as self-funded and independent, handling development, distribution, merchandise and marketing itself. In March 2024 Kevin issued an apology on behalf of the studio over earlier workplace complaints, attributing them to rapid growth and staffing shortages. His entry here concerns his business role as a studio founder, not his creative credits.
