White Cat Entertainment Brings On Shoshin Creative Lab’s Rylend Grant as Head of IP Development
Since 2020, White Cat Entertainment has built an amazing slate of original, high-concept stories across graphic novels, podcasts, books, and film-ready concepts, each developed with expansion across multiple platforms in mind.
Now, the creator-led studio founded by Chris Mancini is expanding its business model with the launch of a creative solutions division with Rylend Grant, Managing Partner at Shoshin Creative Lab, as Head of IP Development.
Through this collaboration, White Cat Entertainment expands its development capabilities with Grant’s creative solutions arm, overseeing projects and positioning them for adaptation across its slate.
Key properties include Long Ago and Far Away, a fantasy-comedy with franchise and animation potential; Rise of the Kung Fu Dragon Master, a high-concept action-comedy suited for film and series adaptation; Alpha Cat, an all-ages sci-fi adventure positioned for publishing, animation, and licensing expansion; Pacify Me: A Handbook for the Freaked Out New Dad, a comedy memoir with television potential; and audio-driven properties including Conversations From the Abyss, an episodic horror anthology ideal for streaming adaptation, and The Quiet Journeys of Professor Atwood, a hybrid narrative series with opportunities across audio, publishing, and animated formats.
White Cat Entertainment is a content and publishing company founded in 2020 by writer, director, and producer Chris Mancini, which recently expanded its comics and graphic novel publishing footprint through a deal with Massive Publishing, which includes Long Ago & Far Away, Rise of the Kung Fu Dragon Master, and Alpha Cat.
White Cat Entertainment is actively engaging partners across publishing, film, television, and digital media.
