Rubicon Studios has upped veteran animation producer Kerry Valentine to head of production at the company’s Woodland Hills facility.
Valentine, who recently was supervising producer on Cartoon Network’s Pink Panther & Pals series for Rubicon, will oversee daily production for all of Rubicon’s animated projects, including the new 3D animated comedy and adventure series Ben & Izzy.
‘Having worked with Kerry over the past two years, we are thrilled to solidify her position as an important member of our production team. Her demonstrated production skills together with an innate talent for managing people ‘ and the entire production process ‘ will serve us well as we all work to realize the vision of our CEO, Randa Ayoubi, to make Rubicon a significant player in the worldwide marketplace for animated entertainment,’ said David J. Corbett, exec producer at Rubicon.
‘It is truly an honor to become a member of David Corbett’s team as we build Rubicon’s leadership position in the Hollywood animation community. Considering the out-of-the box success of Pink Panther & Pals, I think we are off to an incredible start,’ said Valentine.
Valentine began her association with Rubicon in 2008 as a production manager on Pink Panther & Pals and quickly moved up to supervising producer. She came to Rubicon after serving as a post-production supervisor at Funny Garbage on Young Person’s Guide to History for Adult Swim and on Harden High for MTV.
Prior to her tenure at Funny Garbage, Valentine served as associate producer at Six Point Harness.
