Jason Lust

Senior Vice President of Feature Films

As Senior Vice President of Feature Films, Jason Lust oversees the Company's film development slate by pursuing strategic creative partners and also utilizing the Company's dedicated development fund to option existing properties, such as children's books, comics and video games. In addition to developing live action features, Lust focuses on animated projects that can either be produced with third parties or created using Henson's proprietary real-time animation technology, HDPS (Henson Digital Performance Studio). Lust is also developing existing titles in the company's catalogue (such as "Fraggle Rock") for feature possibilities.

Lust comes to The Jim Henson Company from the management and production company Circle of Confusion where he was the founding partner of the organization's west coast operation. During his time there, he focused on developing visual material such as children's books, graphic novels and video games into feature films.

Current development projects include adaptations of Edward Gorey's classic "The Doubtful Guest" with Walden Media and Fox 2000, as well as "The Portable Door," "Gil's All Fright Diner," "Only Human" and "The Star" (with Sony Pictures), “Power of the Dark Crystal” and “Happytime Murders.” Feature animation projects include "Let It Rain" and "Game Over."
