Tiger Aspect Sets Up New York Office

LONDON, January 22: Tiger Aspect Productions is ramping up
its U.S. business with an office in New York that will be run by Charles Brand
and Jamie Munro.

Tiger Aspect Productions opened its first U.S. office in
Washington D.C. in 2004, and has forged strong relationships with Discovery
Channel, TLC and Animal Planet, among others. In addition to working with its
existing partners, Tiger Aspect USA hopes to develop and produce new programs
for other networks in the U.S. market.

In conjunction with the new office announcement, Tiger
Aspect has confirmed the appointment of Adam Steinman as head of development
for Tiger Aspect USA. He was previously with the American arm of another
British outfit: Lion Television USA. Steinman will work alongside Steve Werner,
the VP of production management for Tiger Aspect USA, to put together development
teams that can start pitching immediately.

“The opening of the New York office marks the beginning of a
very exciting time for Tiger Aspect USA, enabling us to benefit from the
resources and facilities provided by our colleagues at IMG, whilst preserving
our identity as a producer of high end programming from a wide range of
genres,” said Andrew Zein, the managing director of Tiger Aspect. “We are very
much looking forward to utilizing Adam’s wealth of experience in American
television, which will help us to continue producing a wide range of innovative
programming for the U.S. market.”
