Co-CEO / Producer
Wiczyk and partner Asif Satchu run MRC, the content creator with a balance of top-rated television shows, big-screen hits and digital products for Fortune 500 companies that have made it a leader in the field. With a business model that sees creatives co-owning copyrights and retaining artistic control, the company put Netflix’s original programming on the map with “House of Cards,” following it up with “Ozark.” He has backed film successes including three-way Oscar nominee “Baby Driver” and Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted.” Recent Stephen King adaptation “The Dark Tower” failed to live up to its lineage, but MRC moves on with a busy slate that includes Peter Jackson writing and producing “Mortal Engines,” coming in December. Wiczyk formerly headed up production at Summit Entertainment.
