She will spearhead the logistics for acquisitions, development and production of live-action features for the Kids & Family division of the Gen Z studios.
“Syrinthia’s extensive experience in film across platforms, along with her global understanding of today’s content landscape, make her an invaluable asset to Awesomeness and Nickelodeon’s expanding film business,” said Shelley Zimmerman, Executive Vice President of Live-Action Studio at Awesomeness and Nickelodeon. “We’re thrilled to have her join the team and lead the charge in creating an exciting new slate of projects and content partnerships that reflect the passions, curiosities and diverse profile of our audiences.”
