Ian was a Creative Executive at Groundswell Productions (THIRTEEN, SIDEWAYS, TRUMBO, MILK // SMILF, THE MAGICIANS, CONFIRMATION), Michael London’s company, servicing a first look deal at Lionsgate. At Groundswell he had an active hand in production of FX’s SNOWFALL, Searchlight’s THE GREATEST HITS, and Channel 4 (UK)’s ALICE & JACK as well as development for myriad projects in TV and film on the slate, spanning multiple genres. He has also worked extensively with Jon Silk, formerly at his own imprint (Silk Mass), now Head of Original Film at Netflix.
