EXCLUSIVE: Robert Walak and Alisa Tager will be leaving their posts as Presidents of Film & Television at AC Studios, the independent film and TV production studio that sits inside Anonymous Content, when their contracts are up in a couple of months.
Walak and Tager are expected to continue producing projects for AC Studios through an arrangement whose terms are still being worked out.
There are no details yet about the duo’s replacement though I hear UCP veteran Garrett Kemble, who joined Anonymous Content as EVP of Development for AC Studios last summer, reuniting with former UCP President Dawn Olmstead who is now CEO of Anonymous Content, is poised for a bigger role in light of Walak and Tager’s pending exit.
“Alisa and Robert are brilliant producers,” said Anonymous Content CCO David Levine. “It has been a pleasure working with the two of them these past few years to help execute our vision for AC Studios. Their expertise and passion for great storytelling have been instrumental in helping to grow and expand AC Studios and we are looking forward to continuing to work with them to produce and create the premium content that Anonymous is known for.”
Former Focus Features President Walak and long-time producer Tager joined AC Studios in 2021, both coming from primarily film background. For the past two years, they have overseen the studio’s slate, which traditionally has skewed heavily toward TV. Recently released projects include series Shantaram starring Charlie Hunnam; season two of Random Acts of Flyness; Dickinson, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey starring Samuel L. Jackson as well as the film Swan Song starring Mahershala Ali.
The company’s upcoming lineup includes feature Foe, starring Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal

Brent Lang Executive Editor Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye will have his first starring role in a feature film that he wrote and is also producing.

We do know that it is shooting in Los Angeles, but aside from that the “logline is being kept under wraps.” Whether comedy or tragedy, action adventure or musical extravaganza, this impressively vague feature has lined up a top shelf cast.

He had a sphinx-like quality that took a little time to get around, for some. But once you knew him, you were welcomed into a kingdom of art, history, intelligence, humor, and joie de vivre that you knew you couldn’t be without. He made life richer. Magical. He called Telluride a labor of love for a very long time. We’re so much better off because of him and that labor. We at the Festival owe it to him to carry on his legacy; his commitment to and love for cinema, above all.”
