Los Angeles, January 6, 2016 – Amazon has just published Elie’s Puzzle Pet Friends, the latest book of author and journalist Dom Serafini.

This is Serafini’s first children’s book and Cathy Malatesta’s Los Angeles-based Lawless Entertainment represents it worldwide.

Elie’s Puzzle Pet Friends is a children’s property targeting children ages 7-10. Elie is a seven-year-old only child who longs for a pet, but his parents, who both work long hours, don’t want to increase their burden at home. His life is completely changed by two unexpected puzzle pets that come alive when the puzzles are assembled. Elie enjoys countless adventures with his new puzzle pets, Sene, a lion from Senegal and Lily, a lamb from New Zealand.

Lawless Entertainment is seeking licensing and merchandising opportunities for the property, plus co-production partners for the animated project.

“It’s a story that fascinated my children when they were in elementary school,” said creator Dom Serafini. “They actually looked forward to going to bed at night just to hear one more of Elie’s adventures with his puzzle pets. They preferred to listen to what were then stories I invented on the spot rather then stories that I could have read from existing children’s books. The only problem was that with Elie, it took time for them to finally go to sleep.”

“Elie’s Puzzle Pet Friends is a sweet and tremendously imaginative story that will make every child take a second glance at the toys in the trash,” commented Cathy Malatesta, President of Lawless Entertainment. “Elie’s adventures with his puzzle pets are fun and enjoyable for all ages!”

About Suzy’s Zoo
Suzy’s Zoo was established in 1968 by award-winning San Diego artist, Suzy Spafford. Deriving from Suzy’s own childhood memories, it evokes the spirit of a time when kids were free to explore their surroundings and have adventures of their own making.

The stories begin when Suzy Ducken and her next-door neighbor Jack Quacker decide to build a tree fort in the big old tree between their houses. Their nearby neighbor Corky Turtle is the ballast of the group with his scientific and practical ways of making things work. Suzy’s best-friend, the girly and opinionated Emily Marmot, is the comedy relief, with the redeeming quality of ALWAYS bringing the refreshments for their adventures. Jack, the leader of the group, has a burning desire to be able to fly all over Duckport and the entire Beak Isles. Ever-impatient, he is always trying out a device to get him airborne. Suzy is the straight-man in the group, with her even temperament and diplomatic ways. But she has her moments of frustration, too—especially about Jack. Tagging along is the pesky but lovable Ollie Marmot, Emily’s twin. Ollie competes with Jack for speed and bravado. Their adventures are about invention, involvement, cooperation, sharing, and exploration—and involve junkyards, tools, dirt, attics filled with old stuff, school, family, chores, the other interesting characters in the town of Duckport, and a sense of belonging to a widely mixed community of animal folk.

There is another character group in Duckport—the little toddler duck Witzy and his stuffed animal friends Boof, Patches, Lulla and Ellie Funt. Witzy is Jack Quacker’s young cousin. Witzy’s adventures are mostly limited to his backyard where he is watched over by his mostly-unnoticed momma. And there is a third character set-Wags and Whiskers, all about dogs and cats, and centers around a shaggy sheepdog Kirby Harrington and his nemesis Natasha, the way-too-cool black and white kitty. Each character set features well-drawn illustrations of personable (mostly!) characters to create a familiar-seeming and friendly universe.

There are many superb licensing partners that sell Suzy’s Zoo images on such products as infant clothing, greeting cards, bedding, books, tableware and games. These products can be found in the mass market as well as in specialty stores.

Los Angeles, November 18, 2015 – Lawless Entertainment is pleased to announce the conclusion of a deal with d-rights on behalf of Nutri Ventures.

d-rights will help develop the Nutri Ventures brand by handling the television distribution as well as licensing and merchandising for various countries in the Pan Asian territory particularly in the Philippines, Indonesia and People’s Republic of China.

d-rights targets the launch of “Nutri Ventures” in summer 2016, firstly in the Philippines and China. As the brand also includes marketing materials at various touch points to kids including web sites, mobile apps, social media, educational materials, and retail shops to enhance awareness and popularity for the animation and to raise the awareness of healthy eating, d-rights will be expecting and searching for wider cooperation with relative partners in Asian markets.

NUTRI VENTURES: THE QUEST FOR THE 7 KINGDOMS follows the daring journey of heroic Theo, Lena, Ben and Little Nina, who have never known food – only Genex 100, the synthetic creation of the nefarious and ultra-rich Alex Grand. But Theo learns the truth about real food and its importance, and sets off on a quest to discover seven kingdoms where real food remains and bring nutrition back to their world. As they journey, Theo, Lena, Ben and Little Nina – accompanied by their adorable furry friend Guga – gain Nutri-Powers, the benefit of food exaggerated as a super power, and band together to rescue the seven kingdoms and defeat Alex Grand.

The NUTRI VENTURES: THE QUEST FOR THE 7 KINGDOMS animated series is broadcast in more than 32 countries worldwide and recently surpassed 3 million viewers on Hulu in the US. Additionally, the brand recently received the highest possible rating by Common Sense Media, a leading review site for parents and families. The series is also available on various digital platforms including Netflix, Toon Goggles, Future Today, PlayKids and more. Its Youtube channel has more than 10MM viewers worldwide.

”Entering in the Asian market was always a priority for Nutri Ventures. But we wanted to have the right partner, with the right expertise and attitude to help build the brand. We found that in d-rights and we are totally confident they will increase Nutri Ventures’ success even more!” says Rui Lima Miranda, Co-Founder of Nutri Ventures.

“Nutri Ventures is a great brand – and the only one in the world to encourage children to have a better and healthy diet. In most of the Asian countries especially in those developing countries, families and parents are still not aware of the importance of healthy and balanced eating habits. We do feel there is a necessity to introduce Nutri Ventures to Asian parents and kids although it may take time,” says Shuji Wada, President of d-rights.

Lawless Entertainment represents Nutri Ventures in North America for television distribution, licensing and merchandising as well as in Asia Pacific for licensing and merchandising.

For three generations, she was the world’s undisputed No 1 in the world of romantic fiction. Her name is known and revered by millions across the globe.

Honored by the Queen for her services to Literature, Dame Barbara was far more than a popular novelist. She was a respected journalist, a champion of women’s rights and a tireless campaigner for preserving the world’s ecology.

She made countless appearances on television in the USA, Europe and Asia. She persuaded politicians to take women’s concerns seriously and to support ‘green’ objectives long before it was fashionable to do so.

She was Princess Diana’s step grandmother and encouraged many of her causes.

From the Roaring Twenties to the New Millennium, Barbara Cartland was not just a worldwide celebrity—she was the embodiment of an idea.

Among her millions of readers, particularly the young, she was the focus for a way of thinking, an approach to living that holds romance and optimism in high esteem. Her name was, and remains, a powerful symbol for all that is good in the female experience, regardless of race or creed.

The name Cartland is a worldwide brand, a celebration of the feminine that strikes a chord in the hearts and minds of countless women, from New York to New Delhi and from Rome to Rio.
Lawless Entertainment is seeking co-production partners for the Cartland project.

“For three generations, millions of young women throughout the world have learned more about romance from Barbara Cartland than an army of psychologists could ever teach them,” says David Wickes, Producer of Cartland.

“We are honored to work with David Wickes on this project,” says Cathy Malatesta, President of Lawless Entertainment. “Cartland will prove to be yet another success of the Wickes Company.”

Los Angeles, November 3, 2015 – Lawless Entertainment is delighted to announce their appointment as worldwide representatives for Return of the Dodger a project that tells the unknown story of Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger in1890’s London. Lawless will handle television co-production and distribution, licensing, merchandising, and publishing.

Jack Dawkins was only 12 when a London judge deported him to Australia. Nicknamed the Artful Dodger, he was the top pickpocket in Fagin’s gang of child thieves. In the space of a single year, Dodger and his friend Oliver Twist stole a fortune for old Fagin. But that was long ago. Today, the Dodger is over 40. And he’s back in London.

Follow the artful one and his beautiful daughter (yes, he has a daughter now) as they take
Victorian London by storm — in search of Fagin’s treasure.

See them finagle their way into high society. Watch them dodge enemies, avoid traps,
and rediscover Oliver Twist himself.

It’s the adventure of a lifetime — with gold at the end of the rainbow.

Lawless Entertainment is seeking co-production partners for the Return of the Dodger project.

“The Artful Dodger is one of the best-loved characters in all of literature. So far, we have known him only as a kid. Well, now he’s a grown man. And he’s back in London — on a mission of survival,” says David Wickes, Producer of Return of the Dodger.

“We are honored to work with David Wickes and The Wickes Company on this project,” says Cathy Malatesta, President of Lawless Entertainment. “Return of the Dodger will prove to be yet another success of the Wickes Company.”
