History
On September 28, 2010, Bill Schultz established Home Plate Entertainment after years of animation experiences and 12 years of working at MoonScoop. “I wanted to create a global company that would allow me to continue to work with world-class partners on great projects, whether as an Executive Producer on one production or consulting Studio Executive.” he said. “Home Plate Entertainment’s paradigm is flexibility and collaboration. With a small group of key top level talent, almost as a “virtual” studio, we are positioned to offer a range of top level IP Development, Financing, Producing, and Distribution services to our partners and clients, on a “custom fit” basis.”[1] The studio has also partnered with Yowza! Animation and several other studios.[1]
