Wayfarer Studios Promotes Jamey Heath to CEO, Tera Hanks Boards as President (EXCLUSIVE)
Veteran executive Tera Hanks joins Wayfarer Studios as president, while Jamey Heath is elevated to CEO.
We share a common goal to produce projects that serve as true agents for social change, and that elevate and speak to the human spirit on a global scale,” Heath said of Hank’s hiring in a statement. Heath and Hanks will work in tandem to facilitate continued growth for the studio, which is behind the highly-anticipated big-screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit romance novel “It Ends With Us”(starring Blake Lively and Baldoni), and executive produced the standout documentary “Will & Harper” that debuted to great fanfare at Sundance earlier this year. The company was founded in 2019 with the mission to “highlight the power of connection, debunking the typical studio model by championing inspirational stories which unite as true agents for social change.” Wayfarer Studios’ current production slate includes “Ezra,” “A Nice Indian Boy,” “Code 3,” “The Senior,” “Empire Waist,” a live-action “Pac-Man ” and “Eleanor the Great,” along with documentary features such as “Racist Trees,” “The Herricanes” and “Black Is Beautiful.” The company also serves as executive producers for the upcoming “Garfield” movie.
