Set up writers offices, recorded talent across 10 episodes and had to pre-maturely wrap animated series from Albert Brooks & Louis C.K.. Production halted due to #metoo movement and Louis C.K. cancellations = gut punch. Animation Producer, Animals. S1 & S2 (Starburns Industries / HBO) 2015 - 2017 Produced Animals Seasons 1 & 2 with Phil Matarese, Mike Luciano & the Duplass Brothers for air on HBO, which also included a live action “Humans” episode w/ RuPaul. Phil & Mike created the original pilot episodes in FCP 7 which sold at Sundance and I transitioned them to a more traditional animation pipeline for the series. Producer, Harold & Kumar animated pilot (Bento Box / Lionsgate TV) 2015 Produced animated hour pilot based on the “Harold & Kumar” franchise from Jon Hurwitz & Haden Schlossberg. This was one of the funniest projects I’ve produced that is shelved / never got to see an audience.
