The 3rd annual Hop Skip and a Jump animation workshop has begun August 1st 2018 and takes place in two parts:
The summer workshops during the Jerusalem film festival
The autumn workshop during “AniNation” Jerusalem’s international animation festival.
The “Hop, Skip& jump” development program is an engine for creativity in Jerusalem, and sources high level Hollywood executives from the kids and family space to mentor locals’ animated TV projects with the aim of developing a Hollywood-ready project.
This year’s guests are more impressive than ever, led by key executives from Netflix, Mattel, Technicolor, MGA Entertainment and eOne.
The summer program’s guests include Steven Wendland, VP Animation and Creative Head at Technicolor. His latest TV show, The Deep, is the #1 show across all networks in Australia. Also joining in August is Elly Kramer, Creative
Producer and former VP at Nickelodeon Animation. Some popular TV shows under her lead were Team Umizoomi, Peter Rabbit, and Ni Hao, Kai Lin .
October’s guests are Olivier Dumont, President of Family and Brands at eOne, Domonique Bazay, Director of Content and Acquisitions at Netflix, Christopher Keenan, SVP of Global Content and Production at Mattel, and Sadaf Muncy, VP of Entertainment at MGA Entertainment. As a special bonus this year, Ms. Muncy brings her knowledge of shepherding the #1 toy of 2017, LOL Surprise Dolls, to host a lecture at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design’s Animation and Industrial Design departments about merging content and consumer products – a first of its kind presentation about bringing animated content into the toy and collectibles space.
