Conn added, “Inviting kids to see the good in the world is needed now more than ever. I’m excited to lend my expertise to this team working to make a positive impact in modern culture through entertainment.”

“We recognize the significance and contribution of seasoned advisors,” said Avraham May. “In founding God’s Gang, we curated an interfaith council and enlisted pedagogic advisors to carefully shape an authentic and meaningful God’s Gang universe,” he explained. “Today, it brings me great joy to welcome Bruno Zarka and Sheri Conn, who, alongside Bruce Daitch, bring invaluable industry expertise. Their guidance will play a pivotal role in steering us through the upcoming stages of our journey, encompassing production, distribution, marketing, and overall commercial success.”
