Anonymous hires for unscripted

Anonymous Content has appointed execs from Pulse Films and Vice to develop more unscripted programming for the US-based production outfit.

Fred Grinstein becomes head of non-fiction at Anonymous, which is best known for its scripted fare such as HBO True Detective and 13 Reasons Why for Netflix.

Grinstein will be based in LA and joins from Pulse, where he led the company’s unscripted division. Prior to that he was VP of development for Vice Media’s television network Viceland and he has also had stints with US cabler A&E.

He is joined at Anonymous by Dema Paxton Fofang, who joins from Viceland and becomes director of development.

Anonymous launched its unscripted division in 2015, bringing in former Discovery Channel executive David Pritikin to head it.

The company has been behind hit scripted shows including Cinemax’s The Knick and USA Network’s Mr Robot.
