CONTENT STUDIO — LOS ANGELES
We develop and produce original unscripted formats.
Vertical first, everywhere after.
A format that holds at ninety seconds scales into thirty-minute containers. We develop for both from the first outline.

01 — WHO WE ARE
Between us, we have already built the things this company exists to build.
A returnable format that travels internationally. A slate financed by brands and sold. This business has no shortage of crews — what it lacks is people who have originated formats that came back for a second season. That is a development problem, and it is the one we are built to solve.
Richard Shore
CO-FOUNDER — BUSINESS & RIGHTS
Richard has built this company before. At RedLever Studios he assembled a slate of original short-form series, brought in the producers to make them, and financed them through brands who wanted to live inside the shows rather than interrupt them. RedLever was acquired by a global digital advertising network. Before that he practised entertainment law at Sony Pictures Entertainment and First Look Studios, across film, television and digital. He handles the deals, the rights, and the economics of the slate.
David Shaye
CO-FOUNDER — DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION
David is an Emmy-nominated producer who has spent twenty years creating, packaging and selling unscripted formats. He co-created Botched for E!, a returnable franchise that has run for multiple seasons and been adapted internationally, and executive produced the relaunch of Dr. 90210. His Emmy nomination came for Skin Decision: Before & After at Netflix. He was Vice President of Development at NBCUniversal across Bravo and E!, and at Entertainment One, and develops independently for Anagram Studios. He runs the room here: formats, casting, writers, and the production itself.

03 — HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Three ways a format gets made here.
FINANCIERS & PLATFORMS
Back a title.
Original formats built on repeatable engines, developed to greenlight. Co-production, first-look, or straight licensing — we are flexible on structure and direct about economics.
BRANDS
Fund a series.
Entertainment a brand pays for because people actually watch it — not an ad in a story’s clothing. Concept through delivery, with the integration designed in from the first outline.
WRITERS & CREATORS
Bring us a format.
We co-develop, and we read everything that comes in. If the engine holds for sixty episodes we will tell you. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
Got a format, a brand, or a blank slate?
Tell us what you’re trying to make. We’ll tell you honestly whether it works in ninety seconds.
