Christopher Slager has been appointed as the new head of film operations at Fifth Season, taking over from Alexis Garcia who is departing to launch a new venture. Garcia's upcoming project, which is being supported by Fifth Season, will see him continue as a consultant during the transition period. The announcement was made by co-CEOs Graham Taylor and Chris Rice, who highlighted Slager's role in overseeing in-house production and development at the company.
Fifth Season, known for recent film releases such as '80 for Brady,' 'Flora and Son,' and 'The Lost Daughter' starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, is looking to expand its focus on internal film projects under Slager's leadership. Taylor and Rice praised Slager as a dynamic and entrepreneurial executive, expressing confidence in his ability to drive growth in the film sector.
