More Execs Join Australian Children’s Content Summit

Hello Sunshine’s Lauren Kisilevsky and Studio 100 Film’s Lorena Rivera Booth have been lined up for the inaugural Australian Children’s Content Summit.

Kisilevsky is Hello Sunshine’s executive VP for family, kids and YA. Rivera Booth is a sales executive at Studio 100 Film. The executives are slated to take part in the summit, which is being held from August 29 to 31 at Pacific Bay Resort, Coffs Harbour, in New South Wales, Australia.

The Australian Children’s Content Summit is also hosting exclusive pitch sessions with industry buyers, distributors and investors, including from ABC, BBC, CBC, Nine, Screen Australia, Australian Children’s Television Foundation, ABC Commercial, Atomic Cartoons, Sinking Ship Entertainment and Flying Bark Productions’ After Bark, which will provide aspiring creators the unique opportunity to directly pitch their ideas.

Kisilevsky said: “I am excited to share what I am looking for in the live-action family, kids and YA space for Hello Sunshine. Coming to Coffs Harbour for the inaugural Australian Children’s Content Summit is a wonderful opportunity to meet industry leaders and make connections.”

Rivera Booth added: “I am really looking forward to heading to Australia for the inaugural Australian Children’s Content Summit later this month. Not only will it be a terrific opportunity to catch up with industry colleagues, but it will provide a wonderful platform to create really unique business opportunities across the children’s and family entertainment and media sector. I am pleased to be a part of the ‘The More, The Merrier: Partnerships and Collaborative Financing’ panel alongside Screen Australia’s head of content, Grainne Brunsdon, and Flying Bark Productions’ CEO, Barbara Stephen, where we will discuss film financing, sales and international partnerships—it promises to be a treasure trove of information for film and TV producers. I also can’t wait to meet lots of new faces at the summit and the opportunity to catch up with local Australian producers with exciting animation projects.”
