Ramsey Naito, Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President, Animation
Production and Development, will oversee the program. Newly hired
Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party) has joined Nickelodeon as the
program’s executive producer, with Derek Evanick (Harvey Beaks) and
Diana Lafyatis (Adventure Time) serving as part of the program’s
creative braintrust. International pitches and ideas will be
welcomed by Nina Hahn, Senior Vice President International
Production and Development, Nickelodeon.
Said Naito: “Our shorts program is intergalactic because we want
to create a universe of new stars ready to make the next big
animated hits of the future,” said Naito. “Our doors are open to
the best ideas out there and around the world, and we can’t wait to
get started building this new home for visionary talent.”
In line with Nickelodeon’s co-viewing strategy to offer content
appealing to all members of the family, the target demo for content
submitted to the Intergalactic Shorts Program is Kids 6-11, with a
secondary focus on content appealing to Adults 18-49, as well.
Ideas will be accepted from a broad pool of creative talent from
all quarters, including artists, designers, writers, directors and
comedians. Creators will be provided with the necessary artistic
and production support teams to help them complete their fully
animated short. These shorts will have opportunities to air on
different platforms and be developed for potential long-form
animated series. Details surrounding submissions will be available
this summer.
