Kold Open, home of mid-form content. Kold Open is where studios go to discover up and coming mid-form shows to adapt into long-form shows and for viewers to watch and provide feed-back to awesome independent creators before they blow-up. Our advisors come from A24 & CAA.

Team

Georgia Rippin

Co-Founder & CEO

Kold Open is an elite content curation and licensing company managing 350+ independently created series, including mid form shows. Mid form shows (tv shows with 2–20-minute episodes) are entirely unsearchable online. Viewers want to find these gems of shows lost in the TikTok/Vimeo/YouTube shuffle, kold open connects the viewer to this storytelling goldmine. Founded by Georgia Rippin, former producer for HBO, Netflix, Showtime, and Hulu, we're advised by industry leaders from A24 and CAA.
