Managing risk 1 First, we knew we had something that had not been done before. There is a lot of pressure in that, but there is also great opportunity. We knew we had a great team, and we had total confidence in the quality of the comics as source material. If we didn't have the comics as a road map, it would have been a much harder decision Joel Stillerman, AMCs senior vice president of original programming, production and digital content 8. Managing risk 2 We also had a healthy interest in the genre, well-executed, in series form Notwithstanding the long history of zombies as a popular film genre, a zombie series was something we had never seen on television before. That uniqueness always interests us. Charlie Collier, AMCs president 9.
