Summit Entertainment has appointed David C. Friedman as executive vp and general counsel and Andrew Matosich as executive vp business affairs.
The two legal eagles will both report to COO Bob Hayward, with Friedman overseeing all law matters and Matosich supervising business affairs. Each takes a newly created position at the independent studio, which launched in April, and will work from its Los Angeles headquarters.
Matosich is transitioning from his previous role as executive vp and general counsel of Summit Entertainment L.P. , the company which expanded into its current form as a film distributor. The exec elected to concentrate on business affairs following the company's expansion into new arenas in the film industry.
Friedman arrives at the company from Paramount Pictures, where he served as executive vp, corporate transactions and deputy general counsel. The executive handled individual and slate motion picture financing and co-financing transactions -- including equity and territorial co-financing and distribution deals -- tax and subsidy arrangements and acquisition, disposition and restructuring transactions.
