A small round of layoffs has hit Topic Studios this week in the television division, insiders familiar with the company told Variety.
One of the insiders said three executives at the New York-based producer and distributor are out: senior vice president of scripted programming and Viacom alum Lisa Leingang, vice president of development Mona Panchal and scripted programming director Kate Zabinsky.
A spokesperson for Topic Studios declined to comment on personnel, but said the scripted television division is in the process of relocating to Los Angeles. Topic operates as an arm of Pierre Omidyar’s First Look Media, and has been making cost-cutting moves since HBO vet Maria Zuckerman replaced Adam Pincus as executive vice president in May.
In late June, First Look shuttered the studio’s digital publication Topic Magazine, dedicated to nonfiction storytelling, and cut off funding to the political cartoon website the Nib. In mid-July, New York...

Giphy wants to elevate the humble Gif from meme-factory punchlines into… well, works of art.
The Gif search-engine startup has unveiled the Giphy Film Fest to celebrate “micro-film” creators, offering one grand-prize winner a $10,000 cash prize as well as a five-year website-hosting subscription from sponsor Squarespace.
Starting Wednesday (Aug. 15), Giphy is soliciting submissions for original GIFs of 18 seconds or less in five categories. Entries will be judged by a jury of creatives. Finalists will be screened at an invitation-only event Nov. 8 at New York City’s Metrograph theater, followed by the announcement of the grand-prize winner.
But can you really flesh out a narrative arc in a looping Gif that’s no more than 18 seconds?
“You can fully make a horror film or rom-com in 18 seconds,” said Tiffany Vazquez, Giphy’s content development manager for film. “At its core, the Giphy Film Fest is about pushing the boundaries of the...

Phase 4 Films has acquired North American rights to the Sundance Next title "That's What She Said," starring Anne Heche and directed by Carrie Preston. It's the story of two best friends -- one who's trying to move on from a relationship, the other starting a new romance. They meet a third woman with her own love issues and a series of New York misadventures begins. As Preston told Indiewire before Sundance began, "'That's What She Said' is a chick flick that’s not for pussies. It is an unflinching answer to the ubiquitous bro-mance, so I guess you could call it a wo-mance." Producers are Lucy Barzun Donnelly, Joshua Astrachan, Mona Panchal and Preston. Executive producers are Mark Holmes and James Vasquez. Submarine Films repped the title in the sale.
