Veteran producer and DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg (pictured) is quite literally reaching for the stars with his next venture in family entertainment.
The producer behind hits like Shrek and The Prince of Egypt, Katzenberg is on board as a strategic advisor and board member at Nova Sky Stories—a live drone entertainment company founded by Kimbal Musk, the younger brother of businessman Elon Musk.
Katzenberg will work closely with the leadership team to fuel the company’s next phase of growth in creating long-form light shows with a storytelling element. “[Our] objective here is a branded family entertainment with Nova Sky Stories, creating our own characters, creating our own stories here that build the IP of the company,” he told Deadline.
Nova has already gotten the ball rolling on its first collaboration with Katzenberg. The two are co-developing a “Sky Story” slated to launch in 2026 and a “large-scale public experience” that will be revealed later this year.
Through his WndrCo firm, Katzenberg has also taken an undisclosed stake in Nova Sky. This investment will be funneled into supporting the company’s creative studio of animators and storytellers.
