Delinquent

What Delinquent does

Delinquent is a London-based creative production partnership founded in 2005 by directors Zen Jepras and Jerry Lesnick. The company specializes in end-to-end film and animation production services, combining live action direction, animation direction, VFX, post-production, and motion design under a single in-house delivery model. Its headcount is stated as 1-10 employees and it is privately held as a partnership, with no institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed.

The service catalog is organized into three interconnected areas: Production Services (live action and animation direction, fully serviced shoot solutions, directors of photography, creative direction, brand development, and script writing); Content Creation (branded content, corporate video, broadcast titles and packaging, online and social content, TV and web commercials, explainers, case studies, documentary, and short film); and Post-Production, VFX, and Animation (offline and online editing, VFX, color grading and finishing, sound design and mix, motion design, 2D and 3D animation, illustration, retouching, and asset management). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company positions itself as able to integrate into client team structures or operate independently across varied budgets and deadlines.

Revenue is generated through project-based production contracts with enterprise clients. Publicly referenced customers include Hill & Knowlton, PWC, Ketchum, Disney, and Metia, spanning PR, corporate, entertainment, and marketing sectors. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on direct engagement, reputation, and referrals within the agency and brand ecosystem. Marketing is limited to a Wix-hosted website portfolio and organic social presence on Instagram and Twitter; there are no disclosed partnerships, certifications, awards, patents, or AI/ML capability investments in the source data.
