    WARSAW, Poland --

    Big Sync Music, a global music agency, servicing leading brands such as Unilever, Lipton and Google has opened an office in Warsaw, Poland, expanding a global footprint which also includes locations in L.A., NY, London, Paris, Hamburg, Singapore and Sydney. Big Sync Music is a Songtradr company, acquired back in 2019.

    Poland holds the strongest and largest economy in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region and it’s still growing, making it a natural fit for the expansion of Big Sync Music. Alongside its economic benefits, the capital of Poland, Warsaw, is known as a hub for music publishers and the city’s talent provides diverse expertise in the industry. The advertising market in Warsaw continues to grow, creating a demand for Big Sync’s presence in this increasingly sophisticated market. Having a foothold in the CEE region also strengthens Big Sync’s offerings to global clients.

    The team is led by head of music at Big Sync Warsaw, Michal Krajewski, who is responsible for managing revenue and operations while overseeing all creative, client relations, and leading the team on the ground in the territory. The Warsaw team consists of four experienced supervisors–Aneta Kabsa, Mateusz Szmigiero and Piotr ฤ†wikliล„ski who, together with Krajewski, have completed hundreds of projects over the past four years. They come from agency and publishing backgrounds and have worked for networks, independent agencies, and directly with clients within the CEE region and beyond.

    Big Sync Music is a global music partner for brands, agencies and content creators, offering such services as music licensing, original composition and sonic branding.

    Does “Hundreds of Beavers” Reflect A New Path Forward In Cinema?

    Monday, November 25, 2024

    Hard as it may be to believe, changing the future of cinema was not on Mike Cheslik's mind when he was making "Hundreds of Beavers." Cheslik was in the Northwoods of Wisconsin with a crew of four, sometimes six, standing in snow and making his friend, Ryland Tews, fall down funny.

    "When we were shooting, I kept thinking: It would be so stupid if this got mythologized," says Cheslik.

    And yet, "Hundreds of Beavers" has accrued the stuff of, if not quite myth, then certainly lo-fi legend. Cheslik's film, made for just $150,000 and self-distributed in theaters, has managed to gnaw its way into a movie culture largely dominated by big-budget sequels.

    "Hundreds of Beavers" is a wordless black-and-white bonanza of slapstick antics about a stranded 19th century applejack salesman (Tews) at war with a bevy of beavers, all of whom are played by actors in mascot costumes.

    No one would call "Hundreds of Beavers" expensive looking, but it's far more inventive than much of what Hollywood produces. With some 1,500 effects shots Cheslik slaved over on his home computer, he crafted something like the human version of Donald Duck's snowball fight, and a low-budget heir to the waning tradition of Buster Keaton and "Naked Gun."

    At a time when independent filmmaking is more challenged than ever, "Hundreds of Beavers" has, maybe, suggested a new path forward, albeit a particularly beaver-festooned path.

    After no major distributor stepped forward, the filmmakers opted to launch the movie themselves, beginning with carnivalesque roadshow screenings. Since opening in January, "Hundreds of Beavers" has played in at least one theater every week of the year, though never more than 33 at once. (Blockbusters typically play in around 4,000 locations.)... Read More
