Actor-producer Anshuman Jha‘s First Ray Films has come on board as a co-producer on “Error#404,” an Indian animated feature from Bauddhayan Mukherji and Monalisa Mukherji’s Little Lamb Films, marking the first foray into feature animation for both companies.
The film is among five Indian projects selected for the MIFA Namaste India Pitch Sessions at the Annecy Animation Festival 2026, where it will be presented to global producers, distributors and financiers this week.
Jha first encountered the project at the 2025 Kerala Film Market, where director Farha Khatun – whose previous credits include “Holy Rights” and “I Am Bonnie” – pitched the film. First Ray Films has now committed to backing the project’s development and international rollout.
“Error#404” is set in the dystopian island city of Akara, where a tyrannical ruler has banned the planting of trees. When ten-year-old Gauri stumbles upon a colony of ghosts clinging to the last surviving tree, she is charged with a dangerous mission: defy the regime, plant trees, and save the ghosts from extinction – with a ragtag band of humans, non-humans and fellow ghosts at her side, armed with magic seeds from the underworld.
The film claimed the Best Pitch prize at India’s Animela 2026 ahead of its Annecy selection.
