DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION
Frank Saperstein, Senior Vice President Television / Family – Los Angeles office
Frank heads family television, animation and cross-genre comedy for The Americas and Asia with an emphasis on the North American market. He can be found shaking hands and kissing babies from the Croisette in Cannes to Orchard Road in Singapore to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, still you can’t take the Bronx out of him.
Laura Clunie, Head of Development and Production – London office
Laura is in charge of production and development for eOne Family out of the UK. As well as overseeing current productions, she is responsible for the acquisition and development of projects originating out of the UK and Europe. Laura claims to be English but has a suspiciously North American accent and doesn’t quite understand the point of fried bread or sausage sandwiches.
Swin Chang, Director of Development – Toronto office
Swin oversees family television and animation development for North America. Her cool, calm, persona is a testament to her industry experience and her strength is a result of systematically sledge-hammering her house to the ground in what she’s calling “remodeling”.
Monica Hoge, Development Coordinator – Los Angeles office
Monica manages development for family television, animation, and cross-genre comedy for North America. She reads by the pile rather than the page and gives notes whether you need them or not. Monica is LA’s resident “MacGyver” and has been known to create a TV show with a box of Tic Tacs, a rubber band and hope.
Lorna Burkle, Production & Development Co-ordinator – London office
Lorna oversees the day-to-day coordination of development and production activity within the department while keeping tabs on where everyone is meant to be and what they are meant to be doing. Lorna is ridiculously well organised and spends days building complex spreadsheets when she would rather be baking cookies and walking dogs (any dogs). Lorna’s lifetime ambition is to be a cartoon mermaid.
Jenn Thompson, Executive Assistant – Los Angeles office
Jenn manages the comings and goings, ins and outs, here’s and there’s of the LA family team. When she is not spreading sunshine and prepositions, she wields needle and thread as the crafting queen.
TV AND HOME ENTERTAINMENT DISTRIBUTION
Muriel Thomas, Head of International Sales & Co-production – London office
Responsible for the international distribution of the children's programming catalogue and properties, including Peppa Pig..etc. Also seeking finance for new project through pre-sales and co-production agreement.

Andrew Timms, Sales & Marketing coordinator - London office
Responsible for all before and after-sales client- materials servicing as well as overseeing the marketing material creation (flyers, ads, presentations…). A keen surfer and enthusiastic traveler, Andrew loves experiencing all things new, whether it’s a left break off the coast of Peru, or yet another drinking hole in the vicinity of the office. As long as Peppa Pig approves, he’s a happy chappy!
LICENSING & MERCHANDISING DISTRIBUTION

Andrew's vice is falling asleep in inappropriate places...

Anthea Bull, Product Development Manager – London office
Responsible for managing product development across all of eOne licensing's properties. What this actually means is that she plays with toys all day. Anthea's one and only grudge with working at eOne Licensing is Andrew's choice of budget hotels...
Jayne Bevitt, Product Development Executive – London office
Jayne is a valued member of the licensing team: she handles product development on UK publishing, paper, digital categories and international and makes the best cup of tea in the whole of eOne family UK. She's Northern, a real sweetie and always the first to agree to lunch, drinks, cake… Jayne takes the responsibility for fun at eOne family very seriously, but always manages to churn out plenty of approvals before tea and biscuit time.
