The company also has a technology organization that it built alongside its content business. Matchpoint is the company\u2019s core technology suite for delivering streaming content, an automated and workflow platform that prides itself on efficiency and also provides tools for scalable app creation, analytics and predictive dashboards, and AI-powered quality control and metadata enrichment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChris epitomizes the new type of studio executive who both understands and welcomes technology as an enabler,\u201d said Thomas K. Arnold, publisher and editorial director of\u00a0<em>Media Play News<\/em>. \u201cAfter I moderated a discussion with Chris at AFM 2024, where we talked about the success of <em>Terrifier 3<\/em> and how it was marketed through Cineverse\u2019s own streaming platforms and technologies, I thought he would be an ideal candidate for this annual honor \u2014 and everyone I talked to about it later agreed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McGurk said, \u201cI\u2019m honored to be a part of an amazing team that continues to innovate, evolve, and surprise the industry. We have pivoted when needed, while staying true to our mission of redefining what a studio looks like in 2026. From bringing franchises back to fans in theaters \u2014 like\u00a0<em>Return to Silent Hill\u00a0<\/em>on Jan. 23,\u00a0Guillermo del Toro\u2019s <em>Pan\u2019s Labyrinth<\/em>, and <em>Air Bud Returns<\/em>, our first family film \u2014 to growing our AI and streaming technology capabilities through our best-in-class engineering team, and strategic moves like our recent acquisition of Giant Worldwide, we are proving what\u2019s possible when creative ambition and technical excellence come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Past <em>Media Play News<\/em> Fast Forward honorees include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/fast-forward-awards-2025-katherine-pond-making-connections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katherine Pond<\/a>, Group VP at Vizio; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/fast-forward-awards-2024-danny-fisher-leading-the-avod-fast-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danny Fisher<\/a>, CEO of FilmRise; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/fast-forward-awards-2021-andrea-downing-working-in-a-multi-platform-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrea Downing<\/a>, president of PBS Distribution; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/fast-forward-awards-2020-eddie-cunningham-gets-physical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eddie Cunningham<\/a>, at the time president of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>The February 2026 issue of\u00a0<em>Media Play News<\/em>\u00a0becomes available in both print and digital editions on Feb. 23.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dgLnU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe HERE to the FREE <em>Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris McGurk, chairman and CEO of Cineverse, is this year\u2019s Fast Forward Award honoree, Media Play News announced Jan. 19.
