Robbie Tollin, Founder & Co-President

Robbie is an Emmy Award-winning television and film producer, and currently the producing partner of Marta Kauffman at Okay Goodnight. The company produced seven seasons of Netflix’s GRACE AND FRANKIE, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and SEEING ALLRED, the feature length documentary about civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, which premiered at Sundance and streams on Netflix.

Okay Goodnight has several other TV and film projects in development for a variety of streamers and networks. In the film space, Robbie was the executive producer of the critically acclaimed motion picture The Zookeeper’s Wife, starring Jessica Chastain, based on the bestselling novel by author Diane Ackerman.

Robbie has been producing and developing television and film for the past 30 years for a variety of other networks, including MTV Networks, Nickelodeon, ABC, CBS, as well as working previously as VP of development for Nickelodeon.

Hannah KS Canter, VP of Current & Development

Hannah oversees creative on a diverse slate of projects that runs the gamut from scripted to unscripted, shortform to longform, and comedy to drama. After joining Okay Goodnight in 2014 she developed GRACE AND FRANKIE, on which she became an Executive Producer, and produced SEEING ALLRED for Netflix. In addition to being a non-writing producer on many of Okay Goodnight’s projects, since 2018, Hannah and Marta have teamed up to write a number of pilots and a feature for studios and buyers all over town, one of them being the comedy DINKS for Amazon/FreeVee, on which she serves as Co-Creator and Co-Showrunner. 

Before Okay Goodnight, Canter previously held posts at StudioCanal Paris, the Katahdin Foundation, and Tollin Productions/Mandalay Sports Media. She lives in Los Angeles with four very handsome roommates (one husband, two sons, and a dog). 

Sandra Haywood, Coordinator & Assistant to Marta Kauffman

Sandy was a Production Assistant and Assistant Production Coordinator before becoming Marta's assistant and the Okay Goodnight coordinator. In her free time, you can find her playing at a park with her pup.

Molly Arkin, Development & Creative Executive

Molly Arkin is thrilled to be able to pursue good stories, well told. Molly joined the team in 2017 after working exclusively on dramas where cops (who are also moms!) had to hide their crying from coworkers, or where adult children (who were also cops!) discovered their parents’ spicy past. And had to hide their crying from coworkers. Molly is really proud of Okay Goodnight’s genre-and-format-agnostic slate and still finds herself in the honeymoon phase with her first love, television.  

Emma McBride, Assistant to Robbie Tollin & Hannah KS Canter

After moving to Los Angeles in 2017, Emma met Robbie at a dinner party, and the rest is history. Starting as an intern on season five of Grace and Frankie, Emma has worked with Okay Goodnight in many capacities throughout the years, including assisting a few different important people, working in the production office, and set PAing. In between her posts at Okay Goodnight, Emma studied at New York’s Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute, where she gained a tremendous respect for acting, but realized she prefers telling people what to do. Emma has produced theater in New York City and London, and continues to freelance as a producer for both theater and film.
