Nancy Glass, CEO and executive producer at Glass Entertainment Group, talks to <\/em>TV Real about the Snapchat series <\/em>Queen of Stylez and the appeal of creating for apps and streamers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Known for her wig-making skills, celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Stylez has worked with the likes of Cardi B, the Kardashians and Paris Hilton, delivering red carpet-ready celebrity coifs. Snapchat\u2019s Queen of Stylez<\/em>, Glass Entertainment\u2019s first series produced for an app, goes with her into the world of fashion-forward wigs and high-profile clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cTokyo Stylez is a unique and authentic personality,\u201d says Nancy Glass, CEO and executive producer at Glass Entertainment Group. \u201cShe is one of the top wig makers in the world, creating red carpet and video looks for music stars and influencers. She is also transgender. Her story is layered and fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Tokyo Stylez\u2019s personality and niche speciality set Queen of Stylez<\/em> apart from other beauty formats, she and her fans are also what make an app like Snapchat an ideal home for it. \u201cTokyo\u2019s work is specific and attracts an audience interested in cutting-edge fashion and music,\u201d Glass explains. \u201cHer fans are young; they are not consumers of linear television.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glass Entertainment is prioritizing mobile apps as well as streamers because of the excitement, according to Glass. \u201cIt allows you to tell stories without compromise.\u201d Apps and streamers are becoming a bigger part of the industry at large for this very reason. \u201cI think most producers would say that apps and streamers are the most exciting segment of the industry to work for as they are interested in programming that breaks rules,\u201d she adds. \u201cThey want to see something fresh. They encourage experimentation in storytelling and are willing to pay for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Glass Entertainment pushes into the digital space, it also has a number of new titles set for more traditional destinations, including a six-part docuseries on Abraham Lincoln for CNN. The company has inked deals for HGTV series, crime programming for Oxygen, a show for MTV and more Heartland Docs<\/em> for Nat Geo Wild. \u201cThose are all shows that make us proud,\u201d says Glass. \u201cOn top of that, we have deals for six new podcasts. This has been a very busy time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the challenges of producing during COVID-19, Glass commends the company\u2019s production team and their hard work throughout the tough times. \u201cAs we all know, it has been really difficult getting the work done,\u201d says Glass. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing casual about creativity because every conversation has to be scheduled.\u201d Where shooting is concerned, though they tried various forms of remote camera work, Glass Entertainment has found that nothing can compete with the value of sending in a crew and tests everyone on set accordingly. Editing, however, is done remotely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went into this terrible season not knowing what the future would be,\u201d said Glass. \u201cWe are emerging stronger than ever and I am grateful for that! I am just looking forward to the day when I stop wearing sweatpants. That is also a day I fear! [Laughs<\/em>]\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
