About the Speaker
Literary Manager and Producer, Alexander Robb, founder of the management company, Insignia Entertainment, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in film and television, development and production or talent representation. It was started from scratch after Mr. Robb left his post as a development executive at Melee Entertainment (FRIDAY, NEXT DAY AIR, YOU GOT SERVED), and it has continued to grow. Prior to that, Mr. Robb worked in production for several years, from G&E to stunts to AD, and as an assistant at Handprint Entertainment, The Gersh Agency, Grosvenor Park and The Gotham Group. Mr. Robb holds a BA in English & Film Studies from Michigan State University. He helped his most prolific client, Tyler Hisel, get his feature script THE TREES onto the Blacklist, which he then sold and produced with Caliber Media. The film, retitled, DARK WAS THE NIGHT, starred Kevin Durand, Lukas Haas and Bianca Kajlich received a limited theatrical release in the summer of 2015. Since then, Mr. Robb helped place Mr. Hisel as a staff writer on the Fox/M. Night Shyamalan series, WAYWARD PINES, parallel to selling Mr. Hisel’s feature pitch, THE FIXER, to Paramount with Bradley Cooper attached to star and produce.

Additionally, Mr. Robb helped Mr. Hisel land just one of seven of ten total freelance episodes of the hybrid scripted/unscripted Amazon series, LORE, that’s being produced by Valhalla Entertainment (THE WALKING DEAD) and Propagate Studios with Glen Morgan (X-FILES) showrunning. Mr. Robb also sold Scotty Milder’s pilot, THE SHERWOOD COUNTY WAR, to Warner Horizon with Dan Lin producing. He then co-created and sold Scotty’s second pilot, GRASS to Sony TV, which he packaged with director Larysa Kondracki (THE WHISTEBLOWER). In addition, Mr. Robb sold the graphic novel MONSTROIDS to Nickelodeon Animation Studios at the end of 2015, and is currently partnered with Mark Canton (300) to package and produce the graphic novel, OUTER ORBITt by Eisner-nominated artists, Zach Howard and Sean Murphy. Mr. Robb successfully negotiated the deal for his client, Dan Jolley, to write one of the first Oculus Rift games, CHRONOS, which then dovetailed into the mobile action fighting game, SABER'S EDGE.

Parallel to that, Mr. Robb negotiated Mr. Jolley’s recently released YA-trilogy, FIVE ELEMENTS for Harper Collins, and the noir, superhero crime thriller GRAY WIDOW to Seventh Star Press as part of a trilogy as well. Additionally, Mr. Robb recently negotiated the deal for Mr. Jolley to write the Nickelodeon live-action pilot, CIRQUE BERSERK.
