New Production Outfit Launches in Scotland

GLASGOW, July 20: Claire Mundell and Justin Molotnikov, the
executive producers of the BBC CGI/live-action hybrid Shoebox Zoo, have established Synchronicity Films in Scotland
with a view to developing drama series and feature films.

Mundell has over 15 years of television experience, 10 of
which were spent at the BBC. Molotnikov has more than eight years of writing
and directing experience in the adult, family and children’s arena.

Synchronicity’s biggest feature project is a CGI
animation/live action feature film entitled The Brotherhood of the Book, inspired by television series of the same name. In
addition they currently have four other features in development, and an option
on the feature film rights to the Shoebox Zoo brand. Several drama series are also in the works.

“We’re keen that we become a prominent presence nationally
and internationally also, and building on our recent extensive North American
experience we have a number of U.S./U.K. and U.K./Canada co-production
properties in development,” said Mundell. “We are also currently talking to
equity investors regarding corporate financing and a host of distributors
regarding individual project development and first look deals.”
