MUMBAI:
Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) has appointed Becky Sloviter as
VP of production. The appointment was announced by MGM Worldwide
Motion Picture Group chairperson Mary Parent.
Sloviter's appointment continues the studio's efforts to strengthen
its development, production and talent relations ranks under
the direction of Parent, who joined MGM last week to implement
its new strategy of building the studio's development slate
and theatrical production strength.
“Becky
is a superstar who I have been fortunate enough to work closely
with over the past four years. She has built strong relationships
with many significant writers, directors and actors, and her
natural talents and skills are fully complemented by her true
love of movies,” said Parent.
Sloviter
rejoins Parent after having spent the past two years as an
executive at Stuber/Parent Productions, based at Universal
Pictures in Los Angeles. With Stuber/Parent since the company's
inception in 2006, Sloviter most recently produced Mentors,
a comedy currently in post-production. At Stuber/Parent, Sloviter
was responsible for overseeing the remake of Midnight.
Prior
to Stuber/Parent, Sloviter worked for Universal Pictures and
began her career with the Endeavor Agency. A native of Philadelphia,
Sloviter is a graduate of George Washington University.
