Critical Content has set separate overall deals with producers Al Berman and Donovan Leitch.
The pacts call for Berman and Leitch to develop unscripted projects for broadcast, cable and digital outlets in association with the indie outfit headed by CEO Tom Forman.
Berman has a long list of reality and live event credits including “Survivor,” “The Apprentice,” and “The Biggest Loser.” Leitch recently worked with Critical Content on the eight-episode Showtime docu series “Naked Snctm,” detailing the goings-on at an exclusive “erotic club” in Beverly Hills.
Forman called Berman “forward-thinking” and “a consummate innovator.” The two worked together more than two decades ago during their respective tenures at CBS News. Berman’s resume includes a broad range of news and live event production, from “The CBS Evening News” in the Dan Rather era to Olympics telecasts to National Geographic Channel’s recent “Earth Live” wildlife special.
