With a robust slate and sound strategy under the experienced leadership of Jeremy Slutskin, the new live-action division will produce a whole new array of exceptional kids&#8217; content you won\u2019t be able to find anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Santomero added: \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Jeremy to the 9 Story team.
