Pearl Studio, the Shanghai-based animation studio formerly known as Oriental DreamWorks, has promoted Justinian Huang to Head of Development. The news comes as the studio has a pair of projects actively in the works: Abominable, a co-production with DreamWorks Animation for Universal, and Netflix’s Over the Moon directed Glen Keane.
Formerly Director of Development, Huang will be responsible for overseeing Pearl’s development team as the slate grows following February’s ownership shift, when Cmc Capital Partners acquired Universal’s 45% stake and rechristened the studio.
Just added to that slate is Tiger Empress, based on an idea by Huang, about young tigress who grows from the obedient daughter of a Tiger Mom into a transformational leader when a prophecy convinces her that she’s the only one who can save their kingdom. David Henry Hwang is writing it.

Pearl Studios is developing the animated movie “Tiger Empress” with playwright David Henry Hwang on board to pen the script.
“Tiger Empress” is the story of a young tigress who grows from the obedient daughter into a transformational leader when a prophecy convinces her that she’s the only one who can save their kingdom. Hwang’s play “M. Butterfly” won the Tony Award for best play in 1988.
The idea for “Tiger Empress” came from Pearl Studios creative executive Justinian Huang, who was named Thursday as head of development for Pearl Studios by Peilin Chou, chief creative officer.
