David Laub<\/a>, the former head of Metrograph Pictures<\/a>, is joining Neon<\/a> as senior vice president of marketing and publicity, a newly created position in which he will work closely with Ryan Werner<\/a>, Neon\u2019s new President of Global Cinema.

In accepting his new appointment, Laub said: \u201cI’m incredibly excited to join Neon, and to work closely with the team to create strong and unique campaigns for these amazing movies. I am in awe of the films they release and will be releasing, and couldn’t be more thrilled or humbled to work on such bold, exciting, and brilliant movies with such smart and wonderful collaborators.\u201d

In welcoming Laub to the Neon team, Werner declared: \u201cDavid Laub has a tremendous passion for film. Finding someone as strategic, curious and experienced was important to me. All of us at Neon are extremely happy to welcome him and look forward to many successful campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

In a statement announcing his departure, Metrograph said: \u201cWe are thrilled for David and Neon as they continue to build their business and look forward to working with them closely, and we are grateful for everything David has done for Metrograph Pictures. For the time being, we will be pausing any further theatrical releases to focus on the growth of our core businesses. Metrograph continues to reach new heights in 2025 as a true cultural center in New York \u2013 as a cinema, hospitality hub, event venue, streaming service, and publisher.\u201d

In the wake of Laub\u2019s departure, Metrograph will now be focusing on operating its busy Lower East Side two-screen arthouse, which it says has seen strong numbers under programmer Inge de Leeuw and her team. The company also operates the SVOD service, Metrograph At Home.<\/p>\r\n

Laub joined Metrograph in 2024 after a nine-year stint as a distribution executive for A24<\/a>. where he worked in all aspects of the business, including acquisitions, marketing, publicity, and exhibition. Metrograph had initially hired Laub to help the company expand its mission beyond curating restorations of classic films. He was tasked with marketing and financing American independent, international and documentary features, with a goal of up to ten releases a year.<\/p>\r\n

Some of his acquisitions and releases for Metrograph have included India Donaldson\u2019s Good One<\/strong><\/em>, Dea Kulumbegashili\u2019s April<\/strong><\/em>, Neo Sora\u2019s Happyend<\/strong><\/em>, and Ryan J. Sloan\u2019s Gazer<\/strong><\/em>.
When he was at A24, Laub oversaw many critically acclaimed films such as Charlotte Wells\u2019s Aftersun<\/strong><\/em>, Lukas Dhont\u2019s Close<\/strong><\/em>, Kelly Reichardt\u2019s First Cow<\/strong><\/em> and Showing Up<\/strong>,<\/em> Greta Gerwig\u2019s Lady Bird<\/strong><\/em>, and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/strong><\/em>.
