Nelvana Alum Consulting on Woodchuckchucks

Former Nelvana executive Athena Georgaklis has joined Happy Camper Média and Maki Média as a consultant on their co-produced animated series Woodchuckchucks.

The new role marks Georgaklis’ first consulting mandate since leaving Nelvana. She will represent Woodchuckchucks at upcoming markets, including MIPJunior and MIPCOM, to help close financing on the second season.

The animated series sees twin woodchucks Flora and Remy explore their identities as they grow up at the family’s general store. The pair are just like their preschool audience as they learn a bit more about themselves, each other and everyone else.

“Happy Camper Média and Maki Média are thrilled to collaborate with Athena on Woodchuckchucks,” commented Madeleine Lévesque and Dominique Mendel, executive producers for Maki Média, and Renaud Sylvain, executive producer for Happy Camper Média. “Athena’s 360 approach to projects is a definite asset for bringing this second season to life.”

“It is a privilege to be even a small part of the Woodchuckchucks’ team as they expand the show into new markets,” added Georgakis. “I look forward to sharing this lovely show with the kids content community.”
