Award-winning creative company Eyeball has launched operations in Chicago, hiring industry veteran John Noble as Executive Producer/Managing Director. With an impressive background producing for The Martin Agency, DDB, BBDO, and Chiat Day, as well as serving on the board of AICP and Midwest Independent Film Fest, Noble was most recently responsible for setting up Optimus Chicago/Santa Monica’s production entity ONE at Optimus, making him a clear choice for the new position.
Noble will executive produce content and guide the rapidly growing Eyeball brand in the Midwest, bringing a wealth of live action expertise to the company’s design-driven ethos. “We couldn’t be happier to welcome John to our executive staff. We’ve known each other for a long time and he’s an extremely talented, forward-thinking leader,” said Limore Shur, Executive Creative Director and Founder/Partner of Eyeball. Noble will base Midwest operations in Chicago and will also oversee other territories, including the Southeast and Texas.
Displaying marked resilience to the economic struggles plaguing advertising and entertainment industries, Eyeball has experienced significant growth over the past two years, necessitating expansion beyond company’s primary office in Soho, New York. “2011 was a banner year for us and we’ve wanted to expand into the Midwest for quite some time, but we needed a high profile industry pro to lead that effort. With Noble becoming available, the timing could not have been better,” said Ben Spivak, Executive Producer/Partner of Eyeball.
Noble expresses similar enthusiasm for Eyeball‘s continued evolution. “Eyeball is home to incredible talent and I’ve always been impressed by both the highly creative work and the business model. They’re ahead of the curve with a healthy balance of corporate and ad agency clients, and that’s the way I’ve always tried operate in my career…ahead of the next big thing. I am extremely excited and honored to bring my talents to the team at Eyeball.”
Eyeball is currently wrapping the next installment of their ongoing live action ad campaign for Amazon Kindle, unveiling a new sports network for Univision, and branding the imminent launch of a new AOL initiative. Noble and team are actively seeking Midwest sales representation. For more information, contact John via email.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
