Nevision Inc. is further expanding its global reach, launching a new bi-coastal office in the US. “Having established ourselves in the UK and Europe, the USA is a natural evolution into another key market for Nevision," James Cabourne, Executive Chairman at Nevision and Chairman at Nevision Inc said. "Partnering with Sandy and Vinny to create Nevision Inc is a perfect complement to our creative teams in both Scandinavia and the UK. We are delighted to be joined by our new colleagues to share relationships and opportunities for our collective slate of projects across scripted, factual and kids and family programming.”
With base offices in Los Angeles and New York, the company will be headed by Sandy Wax as President and Vincent Gabriele as COO. Nevision’s James Cabourne will be Chairman. Nevision Inc will develop its own projects across scripted, unscripted, kids and family. Alongside this, the team will focus on developing platform partnerships, as well as securing co-production deals and presales in North America for Nevision’s and Nevis Productions’ existing slate of projects.This bolsters Nevision’s roster of companies following the launch of Nevis Productions in the Nordics last year. “The proliferation of streaming services has accelerated the globalization of content across all genres," Wax says about the launch. "In addition to developing our own content, we are excited to be working with such an impressive group of creatives at Nevision and Nevis, working collaboratively to connect the company’s slate of shows with North American partners.”
Sandy Wax has an impressive track record with 30 years’ experience leading strategy and operations within major entertainment companies including NBCUniversal, Comcast, Walt Disney Company and Discovery Communications. She is a content strategist with a reputation for building brands and innovating new programme formats in multiple genres, including serialized dramas, non-fiction, kids and family.
