“Never before has there been a stronger hunger for original stories for mass audiences, and Concourse is in pole position to deliver. I thank Scott, Michael, Heather, Alex, and Anne at Archstone for incredible memories on set, at the markets, and in between, and wish them all the best in their next chapter.”
