Fox Entertainment Promotes Animation Leaders, Expands Senior Team
18 Aug
Summary
- Dana Tafoya-Cameron named head of Bento Box Entertainment and animation
- Michelle Huynh joins as head of studio content operations
- Veteran animator Brett Coker retires, leaving Bento Box in "best of hands"
In a move to strengthen its senior leadership team, Fox Entertainment Studios has announced two key promotions and a new hire. Dana Tafoya-Cameron, who previously served as head of production at Bento Box, has been elevated to lead the animation studio and its growing slate. Additionally, Michelle Huynh has joined the company from Netflix, where she held a senior role overseeing global systems and workflows.
Tafoya-Cameron and Huynh will report directly to Fox Entertainment Studios president Fernando Szew, joining his senior management team that also includes heads of unscripted and scripted entertainment. Tafoya-Cameron's new position comes as Brett Coker, a highly respected animation veteran, announced his retirement from Bento Box this summer after helping start the studio in 2009. Szew praised Coker's "legacy of creative excellence and outstanding leadership," stating that Tafoya-Cameron is the right person to continue growing Bento Box as a hub for innovative, creator-driven animation.
With these changes, Fox Entertainment Studios aims to leverage its resources and talent to shape the future of entertainment. Szew expressed confidence in the "world-class senior team" now in place, noting their ability to drive bold storytelling and innovative production at the modern content studio.
