Matt Hastings, a writer, director and showrunner, has entered into a first-look development and production agreement with Neshama Entertainment, a Canadian production company. Under the deal, Hastings will develop and produce original scripted and unscripted content for television and film exclusively through Neshama.
Neshama is best known for producing the long-running Hallmark Channel drama 'The Way Home.' The first-look arrangement means Neshama will have the first opportunity to review and potentially produce any new projects Hastings creates during the deal period.
Hastings has worked on various television and film projects in the past, though specific titles were not disclosed in the announcement. The agreement expands Neshama's slate of content creators and signals the company's continued growth in the entertainment industry.
Financial terms of the deal were not revealed. This exclusive report comes from an industry source familiar with the agreement.
