1. Happy Holidays from Jill Corcoran Literary Agency


Created by EverWitt Productions, the newest member of JCLA.

So, let’s talk talent… Our average creative partner has 20+ years experience, each!

•    Veteran puppeteer (and Muppeteer for Gonzo) Thom Stanley will puppeteers several of our characters for the 22 episodes of My Dad's Garage. Yeah, we’re coming unglued, too…

•    Victor Yerrid, current Muppet and “Dad” on Sid the Science Kid,™ © has been an advisor to EverWitt on all things puppets for about two years.

•    The My Dad’s Garage initial bible concept was overseen and mentored by Joe LeFavi, former head of publishing from the Jim Henson Company (current president of Quixotic Transmedia).

•    Our film, camera and lighting work are all directed by Rick DeWitt, AFI MA cinematography, who has worked on films such as Goodfellas, One Last Cigarette, The Rookie, Cool World, Round Midnight, Rocky IV, and Betrayed.

•    J.H. Everett is our concept artist, story developer, and lead creative force behind My Dad’s Garage. He has a PhD in history from UC Irvine and has written and illustrated 6 children’s books for MacMillan/Henry Holt and MMJ Press. He has worked as a concept artist for the Jim Henson Company. He was mentored in illustration by Roger Armstrong, Bob Singer, and Alice Provenson. He is also the founding artist ambassador for the Candy Palace charity.

 
•    All of our current puppets and CGI effects are designed and made by J.H. Everett and Jay Roth. Jay Roth is the former owner of Electric Image and a long time movie industry vet involved in costume and effects builds for movies such as Aliens, Spaceballs, Terminator, and Stepford Wives (under the direction of Frank Oz from Jim Henson). Our character and build shop is top-notch under his direction. He is also responsible for managing our 3D animation.
 
•    Our in-house graphic design is handled by JR Johnson, long time illustrator, graphic designer, and cartoonist for Starlog, Coast Times, and many other publications, plus former head of art at Penske Advertising.
 
•    Our animation and design are headed up by famed designer/animator Bob Singer, former head of Hanna Barbera for 25 years. Yep, the guy that helped create Scooby Doo, Jonny Quest, the Flintstones, and the Smurfs - yep, that Hanna Barbera.
 
•    Our Business administration is handled by our COO, Nadim Najm, and his father, Jamil Najm. Nadim is also the current publications manager for Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life) on his diet book series, The Daniel Plan.

•    Andrew Dihn is the main voice over artist and puppeteer for Jr. and many other characters. He is formerly a Walt Disney Parks ™ © puppeteer and voice for Turtle Talk with Crush ™ © and the park voice of Mater from Cars.™ ©

•    Nashville singer/songwriter Aaron Brown is creating all of the music for the show - and it’s sound is pure American heartland, with a little bit of rock and roll thrown in for some great skateboarding by Jr. and Zoey!
