“Nacelle is the perfect partner for the next chapter of the Paul Frank franchise,” added Futurity CEO Stan Wan. “Brian’s passion, knowledge and expertise in the world of comedy and pop culture made it an obvious choice as the go to media company for us.”

The studio is also active in podcasting, publishing and other creative spaces, and has inked partnerships, with Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, HBO and others.
