Unicorns & Unicorns celebrates its 5th year milestone of making magic with 200+ successful projects that have and will continue to open doors for underrepresented filmmakers and storytellers.
"I'm immensely proud of our team and the work we’ve produced during our five years,” shares Technical Creative Director & Co-Founder Sun Komen. “While the ideas we bring to life are novel and innovative (like this brand new cutting-edge tech called “QR codes”), our guiding principle is fundamental: everyone’s voice deserves to be heard. I look forward to boosting those voices, pushing technical creative boundaries and dusting off more old tech in the next five years."
“Starting a company like this has been a dream of mine since college,” adds EP & Co-Founder Adrianne Mccurrach. “When production came to a halt in 2019, we were unsure if we’d survive but not only did we survive, we thrived. I am constantly in awe of how awesome the people are that have joined the stable, have grown within the company and have helped the company grow. This makes me the most proud – the Unicorns are the secret sauce. Stoked to create more, grow more and keep working to crack the code on expanding representation in our industry.”
U&U directorial roster features Monty Marsh, Tchaiko Omawale, Jackie Omanoff, Debbie Formoso, Bridget Moloney, Derek Westerlund, Bobbi Rich along with newly signed Directors Jake Honig & Tamar Levine.
Recent projects for U&U include a campaign for FedEx’s “On The Move” series, which supports small businesses and consumers, directed by U&U’s most recently added Director Tamar Levine.
Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
