Cyma Zarghami Launches MiMO Studio For Kids & Family Content, Sets ‘The Kid Who Only Hit Homers’ TV Movie
Former longtime Nickelodeon President Cyma Zarghami has unveiled her new venture, MiMO Studio , a full-service production and consultancy focused on kids and family content spanning live-action, animation and preschool. As the venture’s name — short for mini movies — suggests, a main focus is being put on TV length original movies which kids respond to and which encourage co-viewing. Zarghami took a little time to think about what she wanted to do next after leaving Nickelodeon last year. She ultimately opted to stay in the kids arena. “After spending 33 years entrenched in the kids business, I thought, in today’s incredibly disruptive universe, wouldn’t it be fun to be an entrepreneur, a maker and serve the same audience,” Zarghami told Deadline. She is betting on herself and is self-funding the New York-based MiMO Studio for the first year, including its first project, a live-action movie based on Matt Christopher’s popular children’s book The Kid Who Only Hit …

She was getting ready for school that morning when she came across him, looking worried. “Good morning, baby,” he said, placing his index finger over his mouth and listening as if he heard movement outside. “Shhhhh.” Within seconds, men in SWAT gear battered down the door of the house. “GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR!” they shouted, assault rifles drawn. “I sat on the couch watching my dad being slammed to the floor, guns pointing at him, …

The 16th annual BET Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles last night, featuring a mix of pop, rap and R&B A-listers.

Here are 20 of the best and worst things from the network’s big night. Best: Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar Make a Splash It’s impossible to have a conversation about pop in 2016 without Beyoncé coming up, and the BET Awards honored this fact by having her and her phalanx of dancers get into formation while excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech opened the show. B and her dancers launched into a version of “Freedom” that was choreographed on a pool, creating an eye-popping visual that matched the Lemonade track’s agitated intensity. When Kendrick Lamar showed up with a tweaked version of his on-record verse, the …
