Christina Wayne Confirmed To Be Exiting As Managing Director Of MBC Studios; Read Company Memo With Succession Plan
After only one year in the role, Christina Wayne is out as Managing Director of Saudi Arabia-based MBC Studios.
During her tenure at MBC, alongside the TV slate, she oversaw the world premiere of high-profile regional project HWJN, which launched at the Red Sea Film Festival, and worked on the edit of big-budget Rupert Wyatt movie Desert Warrior with Anthony Mackie. The second half of that time has been about instituting some changes: how we structure development, how we all work together, clarifying what our mandate is from our buyer Shahid; we have a clear business plan for 2024 with content from dramas to comedies to docs on the TV side. Wayne was previously Amazon Studios originals boss for Canada and Australia and worked at AMC Networks — where she helped shepherd Mad Men and Breaking Bad — and Cineflix.
