DreamWorks Animation's feature division sheds 40-50 jobs.
DreamWorks Animation's feature division is shedding jobs, according to a report by The Animation Guild blog.
Last Monday and Tuesday, an estimated 40-50 DWA employees were called in for one-on-one meetings and informed their services would no longer be required.
The studio reportedly doesn’t have enough features that require staff building front-end production elements, so employees in departments that were overstaffed -- and who didn't have longer-term contracts or assignments -- were given their walking papers.
The company is working to align staff with the number of in-development/in-production features lined up on the tarmac.
Formerly Editor-in-Chief of Animation World Network, Jennifer Wolfe has worked in the Media & Entertainment industry as a writer and PR professional since 2003.
