As it is ramping up original programming, New York-based IFC is establishing a presence on the West Coast with the relocation of Erin Keating, Director of Development & Production, who will be based at AMC Networks offices in Santa Monica. The goal is for IFC to be closer to the vast Hollywood creative community and take more meetings and pitches with writers, agents and producers. Additionally, Keating, who has been at IFC for four years, will oversee the network’s growing roster of Los Angles-based productions. They include Comedy Bang! Bang and the two new scripted comedy series IFC greenlighted last week, The Spoils Of Babylon, produced by Funny or Die, and The Birthday Boys, a sketch comedy series executive produced by Bob Odenkirk and Ben Stiller. Keating reports to Dan Pasternack, VP development and production, who remains based in New York.
