Recently launched talent-focused production company Ampersand has brought Jennifer Gee aboard as its executive producer. She connects with Ampersand managing director Phillip Detchmendy, an exec she’s long admired.
Early experience on the studio side working at Castle Rock and Twentieth Century Fox eventually brought Gee to her commercial producing career. Having produced at Furlined, as well as serving as head of production/EP at Partizan and HOP at Serial Pictures, Gee has, like Detchmendy, worked with some of the industry’s top directors.
Gee’s experience had teed her up to expertly foster Ampersand’s coterie of talent. Gee said she was drawn to her new roost because “Phillip’s vision for Ampersand offers me an entirely fresh perspective about the kind of position I could curate for myself in this business. Ampersand represents the kind of environment that would define my career path. Work hard but create a world of friends, family and fun while making great films.”
Gee noted, “We envision a boutique company that revolves around the chemistry of creativity and outstanding filmmaking.” These aims include recalibrating the traditional production company model and infusing it with the distinct visions of Ampersand’s directors, while also scouting for fresh talent to add to the growing roster.
