About Jeff Marvin

I’m a founder, creative executive, and IP developer with over 20 years in theatrical film distribution and more than two decades working across film, publishing, and story-driven media.During my ten years at Sony Pictures, I worked in theatrical sales, building long-standing relationships with exhibitors in key markets and supporting strategic distribution decisions through data-driven analysis of comparable grosses, sales trends, and release patterns. My role spanned the full spectrum of releases, from limited-run specialty titles to wide-release studio films, and included managing the transition from 35mm to digital exhibition and ensuring seamless delivery across markets.After a decade at Sony, I made the decision to pivot from studio distribution to original IP development. Following my family’s Aliyah to Israel, I co-founded Golem Press, a U.S-based, independent publishing studio focused on creator-owned, story-driven graphic novel franchises for a global English-language audience.As Founder and Head of Content / IP Development, I lead narrative strategy, world-building, and creative direction across our publishing slate, while overseeing production pipelines, cross-functional collaboration, and brand storytelling. Golem Press’s flagship series, Hunters of Sheydim, is a fully funded graphic novel series that blends historical myth, supernatural horror, and long-form serialized storytelling, and serves as the foundation for a broader publishing and IP strategy.Since 2006, I’ve written and published multiple comic projects and screenplays, including Grave Soldiers and The Virgin Killers, both successfully funded via Kickstarter, as well as contributions to graphic novels with the indie collective Cave Drawing Ink. In parallel, I’ve developed original projects for television and animation, writing eight pilots currently in various stages of development and circulation.My work sits at the intersection of story, strategy, and execution. I’m particularly interested in building original IP with long-term potential across publishing, film, television, and emerging media, and I operate in a fully remote, English-language environment with international collaborators.
