Black Bear has hired Katie Anderson to serve as executive vice president of acquisitions for the company’s US theatrical distribution operation.
Anderson will report to Benjamin Kramer, president of US releasing at the US- and UK-based film and TV production, finance and distribution company.
Launched last July, Black Bear’s US distribution arm will release up to 12 films a year theatrically. Upcoming releases include Shelter, starring Jason Statham, and Tuner, starring Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman, which screened at Telluride and TIFF.
Anderson joins Black Bear from Sony Pictures, where she served as vice president of acquisitions, working on films including Materialists, I Saw the TV Glow and Black Bear’s Dumb Money. Prior to Sony, Anderson spent nearly five years at 30West, where she was vice president of productions.
Kramer commented: “A great acquisitions team is key to our US theatrical operations, and Katie is just who we want leading the charge as we head into Sundance and beyond. As a former colleague and a partner on many films over the years, I’ve witnessed her sharp taste, terrific relationships, and clear read on what audiences are responding to right now.”
