Wildseed Bolsters Development Team

Wildseed Studios has added a new senior development executive to its creative team, Elena Wurlitzer.

Wurlitzer has more than 15 years of TV development and production experience at companies such as Disney, CBeebies, Super RTL and DHX Media (now WildBrain). She is joining Wildseed to help drive its development slate and to push forward its growing slate of kids’ and family scripted entertainment.

Wildseed’s creative director, Jesse Cleverly, said: “Wildseed has based its entire approach around finding and mentoring the most vivid and exciting new voices. With ever more platforms seeking unique creator-driven properties to attract highly selective audiences, the need for such talent has never been more pressing.

“Now that we have Elena here, we can take our hugely successful approach to the next level and cement Wildseed’s reputation as a premium supplier of creator-driven scripted content for kids, family and youth audiences.”

Wurlitzer added: “I’m delighted to be joining Wildseed at such an exciting time for the business, where I can continue my passion for working with the best creative voices in an environment where the discovery and nurturing of new talent is firmly center stage.”

Miles Bullough, managing director and co-founder of Wildseed Studios, said: “We’re really excited to welcome Elena to the Wildseed team. Her skill set and experience are exactly what we need to maintain our reputation for excellence in creative development and to set about enabling another wave of new talent with whom we can make more great shows.”
