INSURRECTION MEDIA INKS COMEDY POD DEAL WITH JONATHAN STERN OF ABOMINABLE PICTURES AND KEITH QUINN

LOS ANGELES, September 25, 2015 – Insurrection Media, Inc. has signed a multi-year, exclusive comedy pod deal with producer Jonathan Stern (“Wet Hot American Summer,” “Childrens Hospital”) founder of Abominable Pictures, and senior entertainment executive and producer Keith Quinn (Paramount Digital, Live Planet). In this partnership, Insurrection will provide the resources and support for Stern and Quinn to identify, develop, and produce world-class comedy series to be owned and distributed by Insurrection in the U.S. and overseas on a variety of over-the-top and linear video platforms.

Insurrection will have exclusive first-look rights to comedy projects identified and developed by Stern and Quinn. Additionally, Stern and Quinn will provide production services via Stern’s Abominable Pictures.

“The collaboration with Jon and Keith this past year reinforced my conviction that they are truly exceptional executive producers who have incredible instincts for finding daring hilarious projects and nurturing creators, writers, directors, actors, and crew to produce world class shows,” said Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, CEO of Insurrection Media. “They possess the rare quality of understanding what pleases both linear and digital video network buyers and consumers across all formats.”

While at FOX, Van Rensselaer structured, launched, and oversaw a live-action comedy incubation unit with Stern and Quinn that resulted in a series order for “Filthy Sexy Teen$” by Fullscreen. Additional projects they recently developed together are in active negotiations with several distribution platforms. “We are thrilled to continue working together with Kiliaen in this new endeavor,” said Stern and Quinn. “Insurrection will provide a unique opportunity for us to incubate projects in an environment that gives our collaborators the chance to present their vision more fully and quickly than traditional development.”
