amily. I feel incredibly lucky to be working with them. 

Hailing from Ireland, Von Engelbrechten first drew a following during the pandemic by creating popular videos featuring  Sylvanian Families  animal figurines (known as  Calico Critters  here in the U.S.) in absurd, soap opera-esque situations. Eventually, Japan-based Epoch, which owns the Sylvanian Families franchise, filed a lawsuit against Von Engelbrechten that alleged copyright infringement. Von Engelbrechten said the videos were parody, and eventually both sides settled out of court. As part of the settlement, Von Engelbrechten changed the name of her accounts,  Sylvanian Drama,  to  Moletown Drama. 

Von Engelbrechten reps the latest content creator recruited by Sony Pictures TV. The studio also sealed a deal with Adam and Craig Malamut, whose work on YouTube brought them to the studio, where they then created the Fox animated series  Universal Basic Guys. 

Sony Pictures TV also announced a  Creator Access Day  on Friday, Oct. 23, giving creators access to shows including  Hazelwood,   Universal Basic Guys,   S.W.A.T.: Exiles,   Doc,   Outlander: Blood of My Blood,   American Hostage  and  Shark Tank. 

Von Engelbrechten, who is creator and producer on  Hazelwood,  is repped by Evan Cavic with Artemis Entertainment.
