With a strong eye for action and comedy, and a passion for creating inspiring role models for girls, J&K are experienced content creators with an expanding slate of original ideas (they’ve worked on their own projects with Disney and Channel X). But they also thrive in the writers’ room, relish the challenge of adapting books to screen (and translating French to English and vice versa!), and their work on bibles and pilot scripts has helped take projects over the commissioning line with the likes of Cartoon Network and Netflix.
From 101 dotty dogs and cows on the run to teen hangovers and menstrual nightmares, they’ll tackle any situation no matter how furry or awkward…
