Hornet has signed director/animator Guilherme Marcondes whose 2006 short film Tyger–a mix of computer animation, illustration, live action, puppetry and photography–gained acclaim on the festival circuit.
One of the original animators at Lobo studio, a noted animation/design house in Brazil, Marcondes during his tenure there completed spots for such clients as Diesel, Panasonic, The Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. In 2004, he co-creative directed a short film, Lost Paradise, for Diesel’s summer campaign. Though originally intended for in-store displays, the project surpassed Diesel’s initial expectations and was later commissioned for TV.
After Lobo, Marcondes served as a director for MTV International, leading an extensive promotion campaign for the ’05 European Music Awards in Lisbon. The following year he moved to the U.S. to work as an art director at Motion Theory. Now he comes aboard New York studio Hornet, marking the first time he will be formally represented as a director. Through Hornet he is repped by indie firm Patricia Claire Co., New York, as well as through London-based Passion Pictures in Europe, via its partnership with both Hornet and Patricia Claire Co.

Jolie and Pitt signed off on a default declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, saying they have entered into a written agreement on their marital and property rights. The settlement was first reported by People magazine.

The filing says they give up the right to any future spousal financial support, but gives no other details. A judge will need to sign off on the agreement. An email late Monday night to Pitt's attorney seeking comment was not immediately answered.
Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, were among Hollywood's most prominent pairings for 12 years, two of them as a married couple. The Oscar winners have six children together.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, after a private jet flight from Europe during which she said Pitt physically abused her and their children. The FBI and child services officials investigated Pitt's actions on the flight. Two months later, the FBI released a statement saying it would not investigate further, and the U.S. attorney did not bring charges.
A heavily redacted FBI report obtained by The Associated Press in 2022 said that an agent provided a probable cause... Read More
