Black Bear Adds Former Paramount Content Licensing Chief Dan Cohen as TV Distribution Head

Black Bear has appointed former Paramount and Disney veteran Dan Cohen as its new Head of Television Distribution. Alongside this hire, the studio is launching a digital networks vertical designed to help independent content owners monetize their work across AVOD, FAST, and multicast networks. This strategic move supports Black Bear's investment in a broad slate of independent films, as the studio aims to release between 10 and 12 titles annually to expand its overall market reach.
