Maria Zuckerman, 38 (fourth from right)
VP, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION, HBO FILMS
Zuckerman has overseen development and production of HBO’s slate of original movies since 2007. With projects ranging from Dee Rees’ recent Emmy champ “Bessie” to Spike Lee’s “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Champ” and early Tom Hooper effort “Longford,” she’s built a reputation of working with both established veterans and filmmakers on the rise, forging a special relationship with talent across the pond on multiple British co-productions (including Peter Morgan’s “The Special Relationship”). “It’s so exciting now because everybody’s talking about the barrier between film and TV coming down. I feel at HBO Films we were pioneers in helping to migrate feature talent to TV.”
