Biography
Christina Jang is Manager, Content Acquisitions and Partnerships, Disney Branded Television, and is a key part of a team responsible for identifying, assessing and acquiring series, movies and short-form content — scripted and unscripted, live-action and animation — developed and produced by third-party providers from around the world for Disney+, Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior, with a primary focus on imaginative, aspirational stories geared towards kids, tweens, teens and families.

Jang's work includes sourcing and managing delivery of content produced by third-party production companies which complements original content on Disney branded platforms. She works closely with colleagues at Disney Media Entertainment Distribution for Disney+ and Disney General Entertainment.

She joined Disney in 2021 from Gunpowder & Sky, an independent global entertainment company founded by Van Toffler and Floris Bauer, in partnership with The Chernin Group and AT&T. There, she had manager roles (2016-21) of increasing scope and responsibilities in operations and sales, working across film and television brands, distribution, development, production, digital media, and marketing. Previously, she was an associate producer (2014-16) with the New York-based media and distribution company 1st Ave Machine, a collective of international directors, artists, designers and scientists.
What we're looking for from Ready, Steady, Pitch!
Quality kids and family content that supports and builds upon the Disney Branded Television brands for D+ and linear platforms which includes authentic and diverse characters through emotional storytelling with a touch of Disney magic. Our content should celebrate families and inspire curiosity for more. Preschool animation and older kids skewing animated comedies, live-action multi-cam sitcoms and holiday movies/specials for 4th quarter stunting continue to be a priority focus.
