While handling high school drama, like crushes and curfews, proximity media, Kugler's outfit with Seville Hanian and Zindzi Kugler will exec produce alongside folks from Scholastic, like Eel-Lay, Lucezy, and Caitlyn, Freeman. By Ann Wolcott, whose pen stuff like the testaments and the summer I turn pretty, is writing and exec producing too, with Simone Harris and Deesey, Gaiegels overseeing from Proximity.
