Kurt Conner is the former Director of Development at Ubisoft Film & Television, where he produced and developed various projects based on well known video game IP - such as 'Assassin's Creed" for Netflix, WATCH DOGS for New Regency, and JUST DANCE for Sony - as well as original concepts based in the realm of gaming, including "Mythic Quest" for Apple TV Plus.
While there, he was responsible for working directly with top-level creatives, writers, and directors to develop story materials and scripts, fostering strong relationships with external partners at leading studios and networks such as Netflix, Sony, Amazon, Disney, and Paramount, and providing creative solutions to bring their projects to fruition.
He also led several strategic initiatives, including establishing and managing international writing labs in Brazil and India, running a fellowship for emerging female writers, and spearheading the development of original film and TV projects beyond Ubisoft's well-known IP.
Prior to Ubisoft, Kurt worked in nearly every facet of the entertainment industry - from Production to Post-Production on the hit Nickelodeon shows ICARLY and VICTORIOUS and even representation, working with clients such as Kevin Bacon, Kevin Costner and Nicole Richie. He got his start in film development at Paramount Pictures where he was lucky enough to work on all of the CLOVERFIELD projects with JJ Abram's Bad Robot as well as the FRIDAY THE 13th remake with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.
