NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Anthony Davis is launching production banner Jakm3n Productions, looking to work on projects across the film, TV and gaming spaces.
Jakm3n has set key executives in Arik Burks and Keith Chamberlain as COO and CAO, respectively. The company has also announced that it will co-finance and co-produce Toonz Media Group’s animated feature Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk.
Tara Whitaker and John D. Eraklis will direct Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk from a script written by Ciaran Crampton. The voice cast includes will.i.am, Jennifer Coolidge, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg, Luis Guzmán, Kenan Thompson, Whoopi Goldberg and Howie Mandel.
“At Jakm3n, we want to showcase the rich tapestry of human experiences: the struggles, the triumphs, and the unique perspectives that make us all who we are, which is why we jumped at the opportunity to be involved in Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk,” said Davis, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. “Witnessing my own children grow and experience those milestones sparked something in me. It made me realize the importance of storytelling, capturing those moments that shape us and sharing those stories with the world.”
