Burke To Head PDI/DreamWorks
Patti Burke has been named to head PDI/DreamWorks, the computer animation facility behind such films as Shrek and Antz. Burke will take over the reins from Aron Warner (who is producing the sequel to Shrek).
Burke most recently spent nine years as head of production for Walt Disney Imagineering's theme park division; she oversaw the production of several attractions, including "It’s Tough to Be a Bug," "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience," and "Soarin’ Over California." Before that, Burke was a production executive for Touchstone/Hollywood Pictures on the films V.I. Warshawski and Innocent Man.
"Patti is the ideal leader to drive PDI/DreamWorks’ future, and we are thrilled to have her onboard," said Ann Daly, DreamWorks' head of feature animation. "Her extensive production and management experience are key at a time when we are expanding the company at a very rapid pace as well as planning a move to a brand-new facility in Redwood City."
"PDI/DreamWorks has a tremendous talent base and state-of-the-art technology, and I’m excited… to be a part of it," Burke said.
