NEW YORK -- Haim Saban is returning to his creative roots with a new venture focused on developing family entertainment properties that is set to debut at next week's MIPCOM conference in Cannes. Saban and Joel Andryc, Saban Capital Group's chief creative officer, are heading what they call a new "virtual studio" launched by SCG unit Saban Entertainment Group, which has mainly focused on evaluating the creative potential of investment opportunities for SCG. But amid the continuing digital revolution that has swept the industry, the duo has decided to once again look to develop unique new content for the various forms of distribution of today's entertainment marketplace, including traditional TV, video-on-demand, new media, video games and potentially also feature films.

Haim Saban has officially reopened for business in Hollywood. Saban has tapped one of his longtime lieutenants, Joel Andryc, to serve as chief creative officer of the newly established Saban Entertainment Group division of Saban Capital Group. The division will focus on what Saban Capital calls the "creative component" of its investment portfolio. Andryc will be charged with evaluating the creative potential of strategic opportunities and business ventures presented to Saban Capital. That mandate ranges widely from investing in startup cable and production ventures and ancillary businesses to canvassing the creative community for the next Mark Burnett, or an independent producer with entrepreneurial ideas who would benefit from Saban's financial resources.
