Moonscoop Entertainment has announced it is reorganizing its business as it looks to grow its animation work-for-hire business.
The reorganization follows executive chairman Nicolas Atlan’s move from Paris to Los Angeles to head up the company’s United States operations. He will work with co-CEO Mike Young on developing work-for-hire projects while president Liz Young heads up production in the United States studio.
Also, principal and co-CEO Bill Schultz will be stepping down from day-to-day studio management, but will continue to executive produce three of the company’s current projects, including the hit Cartoon Network series Hero:108, Rob Dyrdek’s Wild Grinders and The DaVincibles.
Schultz will be non-exclusive to Moonscoop, but will have a first-look deal with the company on new projects where there is an opportunity for the company.
‘With offices in both the U.S. and Europe, we are maximizing the potential of our business, exporting ideas, expertise and partnerships across the Atlantic, in both directions,’ says Atlan. ‘We have a very talented and experienced U.S. team and believe there is a timely opportunity to expand our work-for-hire activities working with high-profile partners, as we have with Skechers on Zevo-3.’
