BestCrosses Studios originates from the basketball-themed social media page @BestCrosses, created by Jack in 2013 when he was only 13 years old, that he grew to over a million followers around the world, including many professional athletes and celebrities. 

In 2018, Jack along with Terence Richards and his father Peter Sussman launched BestCrosses Studios to produce and distribute premium, longer-form content for both traditional and new media platforms. Their first production was the Canadian Screen Awards nominated series (6 episodes) “Anyone’s Game.”

Terence has more than 20+ years of senior management leadership and operational experience in sports, entertainment, content, media, broadcasting, cable networks, wireless mobility, advertising, and digital distribution.

Terence is viewed as a transformative executive, advisor, and entrepreneur, known for unlocking growth opportunities between the intersection of enabling technology and traditional industry and he has been on the forefront of how content is engaged with by consumers.

Terence was a co-founder of a leading media software company that pioneered the software and patents behind streaming content for distribution through the cloud to Pay-TV operators, Connected TV device manufacturers, Apps and FAST services worldwide. The vision to create this software technology before platforms like iOS, Android or devices like iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxy, CTV's were in existence was his business team’s great foresight.

After Alliance Atlantis, Peter was Co-founder of Aver Media, a financier for producers and distributors of tv programs and theatrical films. Aver completed more than 1,500 financings. Peter and his partners sold Aver to the Bank of Montreal.

After Aver, Peter was Chair of the Founder Group that created the unfortunately now failed Kew Media as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
