Feature film and television producer/distributor MarVista Ent. has appointed Zac Reeder to the newly created post of head of acquisitions. Reporting to Michael D. Jacobs, president of production and distribution, Reeder will be responsible for bringing in kids’ animated fare and other independently produced programming for the company’s international distribution division and its U.S. home entertainment label, which will launch this September.
Reeder and Jacobs previously worked together at PorchLight Ent., where Reeder served as head of acquisitions and acquired hundreds of hours of television programming and feature films over his eight-year tenure. Before PorchLight, he was founder and president of independent film production and distribution company 4 Corners Ent. Reeder currently serves on the advisory boards of several prominent film festivals including the San Diego Film Festival and the Heartland Film Festival.
MarVista is looking to acquire a number of projects during the coming months, and will be sending Reeder to U.S. and overseas events to meet with independent producers of all genres. Reeder will first be attending the BANFF television festival, followed by trips to New York’s IFP, the Sundance Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival.
