She also points to fantasy as an in-demand genre among children\u2019s programming buyers at present. With its highly curated catalog\u2014featuring shows such as the live-action adventure series <em>The New Legends of Monkey<\/em> and <em>Tik Tak<\/em>, which focuses on cognitive development for toddlers\u2014Serious Lunch is ready to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Dexter spoke to Kristin Brzoznowski, <em>World Screen<\/em>\u2019s executive editor, via video conference about launching new IP, such as <em>The World According to Willow Wong<\/em>, and staying connected amid the current global lockdown. Also the founder and CEO of the animation studio Eye Present, Dexter is able to speak from both a distribution and production perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. With a spirit of optimism, she believes there will be \u201can outpouring of beautifully developed properties\u201d to come from the additional time and attention for projects that are in the development phase, once production is back to firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>See Serious Lunch\u2019s Spring 2020 Showcase <a href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.cmail19.com\/t\/r-l-jkglug-ovgqudl-t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3d3b3c;\">here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genevieve Dexter, the founder and CEO of Serious Lunch as well as the studio Eye Present, spoke to World Screen Newsflash via video conference about launching new IP and staying connected amid the current global lockdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1103,1581,1024],"class_list":["post-18638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-eye-present","tag-genevieve-dexter","tag-serious-lunch","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
