Veteran Cable Producer to Spearhead Company's Slate of Unscripted TV Programs
In a move that will put more power behind its aggressive unscripted television slate, 2C Media has appointed Igal Svet its Vice President of Development. In this Miami-based role, Svet will be instrumental in not only spearheading the production company’s unscripted development slate, but in also pitching and selling the projects. He will report directly to 2C Media President/co-founder Chris Sloan and Carla Kaufman Sloan.
“Igal has a demonstrated vision and the perfect background to help take 2C’s unscripted efforts to the next level,” said Sloan in making today’s announcement. “With two series on air this summer and a host of projects in development, the timing is right. We’re pleased to welcome him to the team and eager to see where his vision takes us.”
Svet joins 2C Media as the company prepares to premiere its fifth cable television series, Travel Channel’s “Airport 24/7: Miami,” and just following Animal Planet’s second season premiere of “Swamp Wars.” These latest successes—coupled with the Sloans’ passion for creating compelling entertainment—are fueling the expansion of 2C Media‘s original, unscripted television efforts.
“This is an exceptional company building strong momentum across the board, and I’m thrilled to take up the challenge of expanding 2C Media‘s original programming portfolio with innovative new shows," said Svet. "2C Media is strongly positioned for a bright future in a time of great change, and this is exactly where I need to be."
Most recently, Svet served as Producer on a range of major cable network series, including truTV’s “Full Throttle Saloon,” History’s “Top Gear” and Lifetime’s “Love Handles.” He previously played an instrumental role at BBC Worldwide’s development department in Los Angeles, and worked alongside industry veterans Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens at Reveille. Svet graduated magna cum laude from Boston University.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
