“Over the past few years, we’ve been fortunate to work with the top filmmakers during the this very exciting time in television where shows like “Game of Thrones” and “Series of Unfortunate Events” require feature film quality for television. Lou is a perfect fit for us, as he clearly brings that eye towards quality, but also really connects with these filmmakers. We are lucky to have him.” notes Zoic Executive Creative Director/Co-Founder Chris Jones.

“There has been a major shift in the television landscape, with a much greater volume of work and substantially higher production values than ever before,” adds Pecora. “Zoic has their hands in a diverse range of high-end television projects, and I’m excited to bring my experience in the feature film space to this dynamic sector of the entertainment industry.”

The addition of Pecora comes on the heels of several high profile projects at Zoic, including work on Darren Aronofsky’s thriller Mother, “Game of Thrones” for HBO and Marvel’s “The Defenders” for Netflix.
