Courtesy of UTA UTA has taken a dramatic step to streamline the leadership of its film and TV lit and talent departments to reflect the industry trends of blurring lines between disciplines. As part of the change, agency veteran Matt Rice has been promoted to president of the new UTA Filmed Entertainment unit.
In the new structure, UTA’s Allan Haldeman, Blair Kohan, Jay Gassner and Julien Thuan have been elevated to managing partners of Filmed Entertainment. UTA has named new department heads to lead key segments: Amanda Hymson and Jordan Lonner will lead Motion Picture Literary; Lucinda Moorhead and Mickey Berman will run TV Literary while talent will be steered by Hanley Baxter and John Sacks alongside longstanding talent chief Mike Jelline.
