Aéro Film, international live-action production company based in Santa Monica, New York and Munich, has hired Unique Hammond as West Coast Executive Producer. Hammond joins Owner/EPs Lance O’Connor and Skip Short in the West, and EP Sara Eolin in the East.
“Aéro Film has been growing since we started in 2002. From bi-coastal Aéro Post to our VFX division Aéro Studios in NY, we’re now very busy working on branded content and TV/Film development,” explains O’Connor. “The sheer work load made it obvious that we needed another executive producer on the West Coast to concentrate on current commercial clients as well as business development.”
Hammond joins Aéro Film after starting HUM Music in Santa Monica 15 years ago with Jeff Koz. “Words cannot describe my love and respect for the HUM folks, I will miss them very much. I’ve been a fan of Aéro’s work for many years, and when Lance and Klaus approached me with this opportunity, it was way too exciting to pass up.”

“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
