Eric, The Split and KAOS indie, Sister, is to close its US office as Global CEO Cindy Holland steps down to join David Ellison at Skydance Media.
With her departure, the Sister board has decided to close the LA office and will sell to and produce for the US market from the UK base.
In a statement, Holland said “Sister has always been synonymous with quality storytelling, creative integrity and an extraordinary team and I am very proud to have been a part of it. I’m grateful to Liz, Jane and the whole team for their partnership, and I look forward to collaborating with them on projects in the future. I’ve had a longstanding relationship with David and the senior team at Skydance and I’m energised by the opportunity to work closely with them.”
Elisabeth Murdoch said, “Cindy is a brilliant, talented executive and anyone would be fortunate to work with her. I’m truly grateful for her stewardship and her leadership, and hope we’ll collaborate together in a new capacity for many years. These are challenging times for production companies, requiring difficult decisions. The board believes, as I do, that we can significantly boost sustainable growth and strengthen our group by doubling down on our proven track record of successfully producing from the UK for a worldwide audience. Our exceptional U.K. base for Sister film and television operations that sells and produces for the U.S. and the world will be our model moving forward. I’m thankful for the work of the Sister U.S. film and television team, and we will take care of them.”
