DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg and Kimbal Musk, the younger brother of Elon Musk, are taking to the sky for a new form of live entertainment.
Katzenberg will become a strategic advisor for Nova Sky Stories, which aims to pair sky-based drones with animation artists and producers to create long form light shows. And the Hollywood power broker’s investment firm WndrCo has also take an unspecified stake in Nova Sky Stories.
“I’m most excited by how Nova is using cutting-edge technology to do something never seen before. The innovations coming in the next 12-18 months will unlock a level of complexity and immersion in live entertainment that anyone has yet to experience,” Katzenberg said in a statement on Friday.
He will also join Nova’s board of directors and work with company CEO Musk to develop a new form of entertainment using light, music, and motion and the night sky as a canvas.
“Jeffrey Katzenberg is a once-in-a-generation storyteller. Jeffrey has shaped the world’s most iconic family entertainment experiences, and now he’s bringing that magic to Nova. His belief in what we’re building — and his decision to join our board and invest through WndrCo — means everything to us,” Musk said in his own statement.
Nova Sky will debut its first production with Katzenberg in 2026. WndrCo, launched by Katzenberg and Sujay Jaswa, invests in entertainment and consumer technologies and has a portfolio that includes 1Password, Airtable, Aura, Abridge, Databricks, Deel, Figma, Point Wild, and Super Unlimited.
WndrCo also has partnerships with Dropbox, Disney, and DreamWorks.
