I oversaw the launch of SundanceNow Doc Club and Shudder, two new SVOD services that are pure-play OTT services focused on providing specially curated video streaming experiences that delight the enthusiast fans of specific genre verticals. SundanceNow Doc Club is dedicated to bringing consumers the world’s best documentaries and connecting them with a passionate community that celebrates nonfiction storytelling. Members unlock access to an extensive library of award-winning films, as well as exclusive access to movie premieres, award shows, film festivals and other membership benefits. The programming on Doc Club is specially handpicked by cultural icons and notable figures to ensure a personal and differentiated experience relative to other mainstream SVOD services. Shudder is a horror-focused streaming video service that offers a library of horror films from around the world and across the decades. Curated by horror aficionados with a deep love and respect for the many peculiar varieties and genres of horror, Shudder offers something for everyone, from the casual fan to the hardcore horror devotee.
