Scott Free Signals Nonfiction Expansion With Hire Of Elyse Seder; Marjorie Chodorov Named Head Of Physical Production: <\/h1>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Ridley Scott\u2019s Scott Free has appointed Elyse Seder as EVP and Head of Nonfiction and named EVP Marjorie Chodorov Head of Physical Production.<\/p>\n

In the newly created role, Seder will oversee creative, talent and partnerships for nonfiction content. Scott Free has ventured into unscripted programming, most recently with the multi-part Still Missing Morgan for Hulu\/ABC News this year, but the company hadn\u2019t had a dedicated nonfiction executive or department in more than eight years. Seder\u2019s hire marks an expansion into the arena.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chodorov will be in charge of all aspects of physical and post-production for Scott Free\u2019s TV division. She has been with the company since 2021 as EVP Production, with her role now expanding to include nonfiction and international.<\/p>\n

Both Seder and Chodorov will report to Scott Free\u2019s CCO David W Zucker, President of Television Clayton Krueger and President of Film Mike Pruss.<\/p>\n

Seder previously was SVP Unscripted at Sony Pictures Television, where she oversaw all documentary programming for the studio. During her tenure, she developed, packaged and produced such series as 7 Days Out (Netflix), The Long Game (Apple TV+), Men in Kilts (Starz) and Murder House Flip (Quibi\/Roku).<\/p>\n

Before joining Scott Free, Chodorov was the Head of Production for The Mark Gordon Company, where she managed the production, post, and finance teams on Designated Survivor and Conviction for ABC and the Aaron Sorkin feature Molly\u2019s Game. A member of the Producers Guild of America, Chodorov spent many years in the field on productions, including Cosmos: Possible Worlds for Fox and Nat Geo. Her credits also include Nocturnal Animals, Star Trek Beyond, Fantastic Four, Walking with Dinosaurs 3D and The Pacific.<\/p>\n

\u201cElyse is the embodiment of everything Scott Free aspires to in terms of taste, hustle and big-picture vision,\u201d said Zucker and Krueger. \u201cHer enthusiasm, relationships and skill set make for an enormously compelling venture back into the nonfiction creative space. Furthermore, Marjorie\u2019s production expertise and meticulous work ethic are a tremendous benefit to the company\u2019s production ambitions, and a valued service to the breadth of needs with our talent partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Free\u2019s current TV slate include Sinking Spring, a crime drama series starring Brian Tyree-Henry for Apple TV+, with the pilot episode directed by Ridley Scott; Alien, a new series by Noah Hawley for FX; Blade Runner 2099, a series sequel to Blade Runner 2049 for Amazon, and the crime mystery Prime Target for Apple TV+ UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company\u2019s premium scripted and cinematic roots reflect the high level of craft they bring to every project, and it\u2019s an honor to be tasked with building a nonfiction team that can further the reach of this iconic brand,\u201d Seder said.<\/p>\n

Said Chodorov, \u201cSupporting our creative team in my role as Head of Production, has given me the rare opportunity to work with creators and showrunners at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n
