Vivek J. Tiwary Launches TEG+, Taps Jack Leslie As Co-President Of Film & Television

Jagged Little Pill producer Vivek J. Tiwary has closed an equity investment to launch TEG+, expanding on his work at Tiwary Entertainment Group, and has tapped former Netflix and Donners’ Company exec Jack Leslie as  Co-President and Head of Film + Television.

TEG+ will focus entirely on working with high-profile original music and premier established music catalogs, A-list musicians and composers — creating narrative entertainment for all forms of media and technology including stage, film, TV, NFTs and more.

“I’m thrilled to be joining TEG+ as we expand into film and television,” said Leslie. “Vivek has such a great eye and ear for material and definitely has his finger on the pulse of the audience when it comes to high-profile, music-driven content.”

TEG+’s first venture into TV and film is the previously announced limited series The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story. It’s only project about early Beatles manager Brian Epstein with the band’s music/songs rights in place and is the first non-documentary bio project about the Fab Four to have secured access to their music/songs. The Fifth Beatle is part of a slate of 10 new projects revolving around high-profile music, the rest of which will be announced in the coming months.

“I’m truly awed by the vote of confidence from the inspiring investors who believe in TEG+’s vision, future, and plans to build upon our award-winning Broadway and live entertainment work into groundbreaking film, TV, digital, and other media projects, all revolving around high profile music,” said Tiwary.
