Exchange ideas and enjoy what is sure to be an enlightening discussion about this crazy biz we call "show" with veteran television and film executive Corey Marsh via SKYPE!
Corey Marsh is EVP, TV and Film, at McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision. On the TV side, he spearheaded the development of Average Joe, which is in negotiations for a straight-to-series order at ViacomCBS. The TV division is also in-production on Kirby Jenner for Quibi and an Evel Knievel limited series, Evil, for USA. During his tenure, Marsh has set up, developed and served as an executive producer on numerous projects under the company’s overall deal at 20th Century Fox and Fox21 Studios. On Wonderland’s movie side, Marsh brought in, developed and produced Tall Girl, which was the #1 movie globally on Netflix for six consecutive weeks. The movie has received a sequel script order. Marsh also served as an EP on The Babysitter 2 and Rim of the World. In addition, he co-produced the upcoming Netflix movie, Holidate.
Prior to joining Wonderland, Marsh was Executive Director, Development at Disney Channel and Disney XD. He is credited with developing some of Disney Channel’s most successful series, including K.C. Undercover, Jessie, Liv & Maddie, and Girl Meets World - the latter of which was a passion project for Marsh, who cites its precursor, ABC’s Boy Meets World, as the inspiration for pursuing a career in the television industry. Stretching outside of TV, Marsh also brought in and developed Descendants, a high profile, live-action franchise movie revolving around the offspring of the classic Disney villains. Directed by Kenny Ortega, the movie spawned a sequel, animated shorts, and multiple books, as well as lucrative toy and fashion lines. The property launched a billion-dollar business for The Walt Disney Company. Marsh also conceived Disney Channel's Storytellers program, a WGA-sanctioned writer incubator designed to groom the developers of tomorrow. In its inaugural year, Storytellers generated a series pickup for half-hour comedy, Bizaardvark.
After beginning his career working as a writers’ assistant on Will & Grace, Starter Wife, and In Plain Sight, Marsh’s big break came when he was offered an executive job at then-startup production company, Prospect Park. During his tenure, he worked on the development team that delivered two successful series, USA's Royal Pains and FX’s Wilfred.
