Annapurna Pictures film head Ivana Lombardi is leaving the independent studio to head up the indie division at Netflix, a spokeswoman for Annapurna confirmed on Monday.
Lombardi will take over as director of independent films for Netflix beginning Nov. 6. She will report directly to Lisa Nishimura, who in March was named vice president of independent film and documentary features.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled for Ivana and this great opportunity. Netflix has been smart to bring on board such a thoughtful, savvy, and passionate filmmaker advocate. Her devotion to artists and love of great cinema ensures we’ll happily continue working with her in the future,” Annapurna chief operating officer Sue Naegle said in a statement.
