Nickelodeon today announced the launch of the Intergalactic Shorts Program, which aims to nurture new talent, with a focus on comedy content for six to 11s that could turn into long-form programming.
The venture is being lead by Ramsey Naito, Nickelodeon’s EVP of Animation Production and Development, along with newly-hired producer Conrad Vernon, who will act as the program’s executive producer, accompanied by Derek Evanick (Harvey Beaks) and Diana Lafyatis (Adventure Time) who serve as part of the program’s creative braintrust.
The group will be responsible for selecting domestic projects, with global pitches handled by Nina Hahn, SVP of International Production and Development at Nickelodeon.
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 [in keeping with Nick’s co-viewing strategy], as well.
Accepted shorts will come from artists, designers, writers, directors, comedians and more, essentially anyone with an idea strong enough to warrant backing by the network, from around the world. Once accepted, the creators will be provided with the artistic and production support teams necessary to execute their vision and deliver a fully-finished animated short.
These shorts will have opportunities to air on different platforms and be developed for potential long-form animated series.
