We are a group of storytellers, lead by a diverse team of multidisciplinary creatives, with the intent of fostering human connections through inspiring content.
Pavlé Sabic
Pavlé Sabic is an Author, Writer, Producer, Actor and Businessman raised and educated in Scotland after his family immigrated from Croatia during the Yugoslav Wars. With unique career experience balanced between authoring the global-hit children's book Walter the Wanderer, leadership-roles at Fortune 500 companies and acting at UK's most celebrated theatres, his unique perspective on the creative process is key to artistic and fiscal success while identifying with audiences worldwide. A true wanderer, there's no telling where in the world Pavlé may be when away from his home in Brooklyn.
Chad Sikora
Chad Sikora is a visionary artist whose work has driven projects for prominent media clients including Columbia Pictures, HBO, Netflix, Hulu, FX, A&E, Starz, Sundance, History, and Discovery to name a few. His talents have supported developments in the scientific study of synesthesia, he is a leader in his consciousness community, and an instructor at his alma mater, School of Visual Arts in NYC. While he calls the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York his home, Chad can often be found exploring the Andes and seeking wisdom wherever his travels take him.
Chris Hayes
Chris Hayes is a results-driven Producer, Director, Editor and Writer whose unique ability to wield creative force and project management has been sought after by top clients in Film, TV and Advertising since his career first launched in NYC in 2006. A dedicated dad to his 3 year old daughter, he prides himself on time spent in the great outdoors, fostering a passion for the environment with his family and pup in their current home of Boulder, CO.
Brian McKenna
Brian McKenna is a Composer, Producer and above all a proud Papá to his 10 year old and 3 year old daughters. He grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, attended Berklee College of Music, Wesleyan University and now calls NYC his family’s home. He has collaborated with iconic artists, producers and directors across all disciplines of media and live performance. Having fostered powerful relationships across show business has vaulted a parallel path with his music career to developing shows from inception — with a special passion for animated content.
The Otterworldly teams' award-winning work can be found on major streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon and Hulu as well as traditional broadcast channels across the US and worldwide. We originally assembled our multidisciplinary strengths to develop the book Walter the Wanderer into a children's cartoon that exposes our viewers to cultures, geography, language and above all empathy and a sense of global community. Beyond that we see great opportunity in the current field of educational children's programming to develop shows that speak to audiences young and old, making our world a better place by sharing different values and perspectives on life that may not come to light otherwise.
