Megan Ellison’s Annapurna has announced key hires and promotions, including the upping of executive Patrick Chu to head of film and television.
Hector Sanchez has joined the company as the president of interactive and new media, while Paul Doyle has also joined as head of strategy. Both new hires come from Epic Games, where Sanchez led the publishing team and the Unreal engine games business and Doyle led the corporate strategy team.
“There’s no better place to incubate stories than Annapurna, and I’m excited to return home to help forge the next generation of storytelling, leveraging Annapurna’s strengths across film and TV, interactive, animation and theater,” said Sanchez, who returns to Annapurna after helping launch Annapurna Interactive in 2016. (Annapurna Interactive co-founder Nathan Gary currently serves as the president of the company.)
The news comes as Annapurna’s latest live-action feature, Nightbitch, is due to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
