Variety’s Dealmakers of 2023: Up Next

Emma C. Smizer is included in Variety's Dealmakers of 2023 "Up Next" list.

A video game client in need of an attorney to negotiate a deal need look no further than Smizer. Her recent efforts include talks on behalf of Question Games’ upcoming South Park video game, as well as a competitive $12 million-plus event production esports agreement on behalf of a top publisher. She routinely sits across the table from studios such as Warner Bros. and Universal assisting in the creation of gaming titles and adaptations across media. Smizer’s favorite accomplishment was the publishing agreement for Dan DeEntremont, developer of buzzy title “Squirrel With a Gun,” which prescribes how the game will be distributed and its development progression.
