EXCLUSIVE: Vice Media Group has announced a new creative structure for its global production business now dubbed Vice Studios Group, which will oversee five premium production entities: Pulse Films, UnTypical, Vice Studios LatAm, Vice Studios Canada and a news documentary unit. Vice Studios Group will be led by the newly elevated Jamie Hall in London and Danny Gabai in Los Angeles as Co-Presidents.
The new content-studio, which has a distribution catalogue of more than 1,000 hours, will work with global streamers, linear broadcasters and brands around the world to develop, finance and produce multi-genre, cutting edge content. It currently has more than 20 productions filming or in edit across the group, including scripted, non-fiction, news and music documentaries. Additionally, Gabai said that the group has “started production on a comedic but character-driven documentary about the 1994 World Cup with Jamie Crawford (Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99) attached to direct – one of the multiple projects we’re doing with Jamie.”
Speaking to Deadline about the new structure, Hall said: “It feels like we are now at a point where we’re in a much simpler, streamlined structure and that has given us the opportunity across the studio to get some real clarity as to what we are in the market. What Danny and I have been working on is creating a structure that really exemplifies what we are about. By having Vice Studios Group as our top company and then the individual brands underneath, I think that gives a real clarity to the market as to what each different label does.”
Gabai added: “What we really realized as we started to delve into the different groups that had formed within our larger studios organization of the last 12 years
