M‘SHOWZEN’ ME THE TOZZI
KanDoKid’s Jim Tozzi Returns From MTV Series

NEW YORK CITY, March 8, 2005 – After completing work on the new MTV Networks series "Wonder Showzen," KanDoKid Director Jim Tozzi is once again available for commercials.

Tozzi designed animated characters and puppets for the series, which sports a kids show format but is skewed toward an adult audience. The network will be hosting a screening party for the show in New York City tonight, and the series debuts this Friday on MTV2.

Tozzi has directed numerous commercials, music videos, and short film parodies. His clients include Miller Lite, Sprite, and Sony Playstation. Tozzi’s notable and varied work includes a Mercury Rev project featuring Ron Jeremy, an award-winning campaign for Kelloggs Rice Krispies Treats with Leo Burnett, and a TV Land promo campaign for Nick at Nite that developed into the award-winning “Twip” series. Tozzi resides in New York City.

KanDoKid was founded in 2004 by Executive Producer Tony Harding and Director Jeff Kennedy. The pair have produced commercial projects for Coca-Cola, ESPN, Calvin Klein, Heineken, Ford, Saab, BMW, Showtime, HBO, USA Networks, Kenner, Hasbro, Mattel, Parker Brothers, and Mobil. On the music video front, Kennedy and Harding have worked with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Tyra Banks, Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes, and with record labels Atlantic, Elektra, Tommy Boy, Priority, Epic, Warner Bros., Big Beat, Select, Island, Hidden Beach, Universal, Sony, and more.
