Led by the former ITV Entertainment and USA Network executive, the venture will initially focus on unscripted content.
Boat Rocker Studios and former Sirens Media and USA Network executive Jessica Sebastian-Dayeh are teaming to launch a production and media company called Maven.
The new venture will initially focus on unscripted content, developing for all platforms and emphasizing female-led stories and projects from emerging voices. Maven will also look for ways to collaborate with Boat Rocker's scripted and kids and family units.
"I'm thrilled to be launching this venture with Boat Rocker and admire their creative philosophy and strategic approach to the industry," said Sebastian-Dayeh. "I'm equally excited to have the artistic freedom to offer thoughtful storytelling, exceptional execution and to push the boundaries of pop culture in a myriad of ways. Being able to simultaneously champion and collaborate with incredible and under-represented creators is a dream come true."
