DOJA CAT’S INTERACTIVE VIDEO & WE’RE GOING TO SUNDANCE!
Doja Cat just came out with maybe the coolest music video concept I’ve ever seen—“the world’s first codable music video”. The singer partnered with nonprofit Girls Who Code to make an interactive music video for her song Woman. Users get to act as the creative director and control various aspects of the music video in order to make it their own. Although there are only four codable checkpoints in the video, this is definitely a cool beginner’s experience in coding. If you want to give it a shot, check it out here.
Our whole team is very excited to finally share that two (yes TWO) of the movies we produced this past year are headed to Sundance! CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH is a charming story about a recent college grad who takes a job as a bat mitzvah party starter while striking up a friendship with a young mother and her autistic daughter. The film was written and directed by the uber-talented Cooper Raiff, who is also starring alongside Dakota Johnson, Vanessa Burghardt, Brad Garrett, and Leslie Mann. Our second feature film on its way to Sundance, AM I OK?, follows Lucy and Jane, best friends who think they know everything about each other. But after Jane announces that she’s moving from LA to London for a job, Lucy reveals a deeply buried, long-held secret, and their lifelong friendship is thrown into chaos. The dream team consists of Lauren Pomerantz, who wrote the script, directors Stephanie Allynne and Tig Notaro, and stars Dakota Johnson, Sonoya Mizuno and Jermaine Fowler. We truly couldn’t be more proud of the teams that made these two films, and can’t wait to share them with you! If you’re interested in checking them out early, Sundance in-person and online tickets go on sale 12/17, and can be found here.
If anyone’s been holding on to their disappointment in Instagram’s algorithm change back in 2016, I have some good news for you. The company shared that it’s planning to bring back the chronologically sorted feed, as opposed to the current one that uses an algorithm to predict what content each user wants to see most.
The two TikToks I’d like to share with you this week are this one where Seth Rogan shares his experience at a recent Adele concert, and this one that depicts an ideal Friday meeting.
