Fox Entertainment Studios has promoted Dana Tafoya-Cameron to head of Bento Box Entertainment and animation. Additionally Netflix alum Michelle Huynh joined the studio as head of studio content operations.
Tafoya-Cameron and Huynh will report directly to Fox Entertainment Studios president Fernando Szew. Tafoya-Cameron and Huynh join Szew’s senior management team, which also includes head of unscripted entertainment Allison Wallach and head of scripted entertainment Hannah Pillemer.
Most recently, Tafoya-Cameron was head of production at Bento Box, overseeing animated series “Krapopolis,” “Grimsburg” and “Universal Basic Guys,” as well as “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Great North.” Before joining Bento Box in 2019, she served in roles across Film Roman, Activision, Fox Family, Saban Entertainment and Marvel.
Huynh has joined Fox Entertainment Studios from Netflix, where she was previously global head of systems, workflows and technology. Prior to Netflix, Huynh held senior roles at NBCUniversal and Marvel Entertainment.
“These two proven leaders make our strong leadership team even stronger,” Szew said. “With a world-class senior team now in place, we’ll leverage the power of Fox to continue building a modern content studio, where bold storytelling and innovative production come together to shape what’s next in entertainment.”
Szew added: “As the new Head of Bento and our growing Animation slate, Dana steps into the role previously held by Brett Coker, a highly respected animation veteran who helped start Bento Box in 2009 and announced his retirement this summer, leaving behind a legacy of creative excellence and outstanding leadership. We thank Brett for his countless contributions, wish him well and know he leaves the studio in the best of hands as Dana continues to grow Bento Box as a hub for creator-driven content and innovation in the animation space.”
