Like Corwin, the board will be comprised of individuals with ‘unique skill sets’ at the top of their respective fields.
Corwin was most recently CEO of Imagine Entertainment, founded by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard. Before that, he was Co-Chairman and CEO of Endemol Shine Americas, overseeing the merger and integration of Endemol and Shine in North and South America.
Corwin started his career by co-founding internet startup Live Music Channel, a pioneer in video streaming, and later co-founding movie and television production company Original Media.
As CEO of Original Media, Corwin produced numerous acclaimed feature films and created some of the US’s most successful TV series.
He is also the creator of hit docu-series such as Miami Ink and its popular spinoffs, as well as the breakout successes Swamp People and Storm Chasers.
In the world of film, Corwin’s work has been nominated for a total of 14 Spirit Awards, 3 Golden Globes, and 2 Academy Awards.
