Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Former Jax Media president Brooke Posch has opened her own shingle, Good&Done, aiming to focus on comedy projects from new and undiscovered voices. As part of the launch, Posch has hired former Broadway Video and Universal TV exec Hannah Kitziger to serve as head of development.
“Throughout my career I’ve experienced the incredible rewards of having developed and produced some of the most extraordinary voices in TV and film,” Posch said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to take this next step to launch Good&Done and bring on executive Hannah Kitziger.
Unique perspectives are the drivers in breakthrough programming, and we’re excited to shake up the comedy landscape.” Posch exited Jax Media last year after that company was sold to Imagine Entertainment. She first joined Jax Media in 2019 as president of original programming, launching several series and also setting up an unscripted division, a movie division and Jax UK.
Before joining Jax Media, Posch served as an exec producer and co-head Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions and as a senior VP of programing at Comedy Central. Posch’s credits include serving as an exec producer on “Broad City” (Comedy Central), “Difficult People” (Hulu), “A Black Lady Sketch Show” (HBO), Searchlight’s “Fire Island,” Disney’s “Wedding Season,” and Channel 4’s “Everyone Else Burns.” She also helped develop “Inside Amy Schumer” and “Russian Doll,” and has worked with talent including Abbi Jacobson, Amy Schumer, Robin Thede, Joel Kim Booster and Natasha Lyonne.
