Following the Netflix international release of its debut feature film OneFour: Against All Odds last year, global creative company Entropico has officially announced the formation of Entropico Originals, its originals arm which specializes in producing new film and television titles out of studios in Sydney and Los Angeles.
“We’re excited to follow up the success of our feature debut and long history making innovative short form originals and branded content work with a slate of offbeat, energetic, and relevant originals,” said Entropico founder and CCO Erin Moy.
On the Originals team, Moy is joined by Christian Polsinelli in Los Angeles as Entropico’s head of alternative & experiential, and Timothy Burnett in Sydney as head of scripted.
Polsinelli brings over 14 years of television production experience to Entropico, having dedicated much of his career to producing TV shows for major networks such as ABC, NBC, and Fox. His portfolio boasts hits like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, World of Dance, America’s Got Talent and The X Factor. His inaugural project at Entropico Originals was Game On, a two-hour interactive livestream commissioned by YouTube. This groundbreaking event celebrated the vibrant gaming culture and its creators on the platform, captivating over 8 million viewers within a week and earning two Webbys last year. Currently, Polsinelli leads the charge in developing unscripted shows and experiential projects at Entropico.
Burnett moves across from Entropico’s branded content and creative production vertical to lead the development of new scripted series and features. Prior to joining Entropico seven years ago, Burnett worked on features in New York City with Bazmark exec Schuyler Weiss’ former production company, Tandem Pictures. Burnett has been developing several scripted projects for Entropico’s slate, including co-writing a feature with actor Luke Bracey.
