Studio B Appoints Director of Development

VANCOUVER, November 1: Studio
B Productions has named Jillianne K. Reinseth as director of development.

Reinseth will head up
Studio B’s new in-house content creation division called the B-HIVE and develop
projects from external pitches as well.

“Studio B encourages
pitches from internal staff on series ideas,” says Chris Bartleman, Studio B
Productions’ partner. “Jillianne will work with our staff to further develop
these concepts and produce animated shorts. We may use the shorts to pitch
broadcasters and potential co-production partners around the world on a series
and enter the finished work into film festivals. The opportunities are
endless.”

Prior to joining Studio B,
Reinseth was development producer at Jetix Europe; and before that senior manager
of creative affairs at Walt Disney TV Animation and manager of original series
for ABC Cable Networks Group (Disney Channel).
