Foothill & Odyssey Projects in Development

SANTA BARBARA/DALLAS: Three projects are in the works following the co-development deal between Foothill Entertainment and Odyssey Pictures.

The agreement is comprised of development funding, international distribution of Odyssey produced projects and joint-business activities, and launching the Foothill programming slate. Projects include an animation pilot script for a series based on the HarperCollins books Gunk Aliens, as well as a half-hour pilot script for the tween live action series My Momtourage & Me, as well as an 11-minute pilot storyboard for the 3D comedy Raz & Benny.

"We are thrilled with the progress we have made on our development projects with the help and support of Odyssey," said Jo Kavanagh-Payne, the president of Foothill. "John Foster and his team have been ideal partners and the relationship has allowed us to advance our projects much faster with our production and broadcast partners."

John Foster, the president of Odyssey Pictures, added, "The alliance with Foothill has shown steady and impressive growth since its inception and is a key element in our expansion into the children’s market."
