Little Jake Series Rights purchased for APTN development deal

After many years of effort, I was very pleased to see the completion of the Option purchase for the production of digital shorts based on the Little Jake children's book series this month! This charming western adventure series (image of Book 3 adjacent) features protagonist Little Jake and his foil and side-kick, Many Skies.

A development deal is in place between APTN and producers Marylin Thomas and Tracey of Little Jake Productions for a series of digital shorts. Now in the animation phase, the deal closed this month on the purchase of the book series for production from author Jake Conkin.

It was my pleasure to assist the business development which was originally an option deal with Blair Peters and Vancouver's Studio B way back in 1999!

Well, just shows that perserverance is one of the keys to business. Congratulations Jake, Carol, and thanks to Blair, Tracey, Marylin and Wayne Clark for their untold efforts to bring Jake's dream of wholesome family entertainment set in the West to the digital world.
