Kojima Productions announced that they’ve opened a new entertainment division in California (Thanks, Gamesindustry.biz)! The Kojima Productions division in California focuses on entertainment beyond games such as film, TV and music. Former SIE chief legal officer Riley Russell leads the new division. Here’s what Russell and business development manager Yoshiko Fukuda had to say:
Riley Russell:
“The new division will be tasked with working with creative and talented professionals in television, music and film, as well as the more familiar games industry.
The team has as its charter, the goal of expanding the reach and awareness of the properties now under development at Kojima Productions, and to make them even more a part of our popular culture. Although we are a global organization, the new business development team will be centred in Los Angeles, CA. We are truly excited and looking forward to working with the very best entertainment talent we can, across all of the entertainment industries.”
Yoshiko Fukuda:
“Finding new ways to entertain, engage and offer value to our fans is essential in a fast-moving, ever changing storytelling world. Our new division will take the studio into even more areas that present our creative narratives beyond videogames and to open up ways for our fans to communicate and immerse themselves in these spaces.”
