Hartbeat Independent, a division of comedian Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat content production company, is focused on developing comedy-themed original movies and documentaries across multiple platforms, including Hulu’s coming-of-age teen movie Prom Dates, which debuted in May.
Hartbeat Independent co-head Luke Kelly-Clyne says the film is part of the division’s mandate to create original content sitting at the intersection of comedy and culture. (Kelly-Clyne is one of the emerging executives set to be honored June 18 at the B+C Multichannel News 40 Under 40 event in Los Angeles.)
