God’s Gang Ltd., the production company behind new animation God’s Gang led by former Disney Channels executive Nimrod Avraham May, has announced the addition of Bruno Zarka and Sheri Conn to its advisory board.
They are joining the board alongside Bruce Daitch, former COO and CFO of DreamWorks Animation and VP of Animation at Netflix. Bruno Zarka, President of Distribution, and Co-Production for the TV Division of Toonz Media Group, brings decades of experience in global animated IP distribution and co-production. He will advise the Board on developing relationships with international partners and experts.
Sheri Conn, a seasoned entertainment industry veteran, has held key studio roles including Head of Worldwide Television Brand Marketing at DreamWorks Animation, Vice President Brand Marketing at Paramount, and Director of Global Marketing at Disney. Currently serving as a fractional C-suite leader and executive advisor to major film, TV, and gaming studios worldwide including Netflix, Riot Games, Hallmark Media, and Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door Productions, Conn brings her extensive experience to the God’s Gang team.
God’s Gang is the first of its kind, a multicultural and multinational animated series that brings together four extraordinary heroes from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It emphasizes themes of unity, peace, and extraordinary adventures through martial arts for audiences aged 9-19. The 13-minute pilot has already gained huge momentum online, amassing nearly 600 thousand subscribers and 3 million views.
The God’s Gang team includes director Ehud Landsberg (Transformers: Cyberverse, Vampirina) and writer Rob Kutner (five-time Emmy, Grammy, and Peabody Award winner; Conan O’Brien, The Daily Show, Angry Birds, Ben 10). With the addition of Daitch, Zarka and Conn to the advisory board, the team is focused on developing further episodes, with the aim of releasing the series on terrestrial television.
The series is created by Nimrod Avraham May, former Marketing Exec at Disney Channels, whose vision was brought to life by the team at Infinite Frameworks in Singapore.
Bruno Zarka states, “It is rare to come across a unique IP like God’s Gang. I am proud to join the Advisory Board, and help the team on this wonderful journey, bringing a strong character driven animated IP, a unique message of being together and to build a vision of a possible future where nothing is impossible when we are together!”
Sheri Conn adds, “Inviting kids to see the good in the world is needed now more than ever. I’m excited to lend my expertise to this team working to make a positive impact in modern culture through entertainment.”
“We recognize the significance and contribution of seasoned advisors,” emphasizes Nimrod Avraham May. “In founding God’s Gang, we curated an interfaith council and enlisted pedagogic advisors to carefully shape an authentic and meaningful God’s Gang universe,” he explained. “Today, it brings me great joy to welcome Bruno Zarka and Sheri Conn, who, alongside Bruce Daitch, bring invaluable industry expertise. Their guidance will play a pivotal role in steering us through the upcoming stages of our journey, encompassing production, distribution, marketing, and overall commercial success.”
