    NEW YORK --

    Found Objects, an original music and sound collective founded by film and TV composers Jay Wadley and Trevor Gureckis, has promoted Katt Matt to executive producer and music supervisor and Nick Chomowicz to sr. producer. Matt previously served as producer and music supervisor while Chomowicz’s prior role was as producer.

    In her eight years in the music industry, Matt has honed her skills in everything ranging from music management to sync licensing. Her experience includes original and sync music jobs spanning varied scale and complexity. She’s worked with artists from Keyshia Cole to Ester Dean and has licensed music on behalf of The Rolling Stones and Sam Cooke for major brands and award winning films and TV shows. Since joining Found Objects in 2021, Matt has produced original music projects such as Seize the Awkward’s “We Can Talk About It” and Ad Council’s “Tear the Paper Ceiling” that have gained recognition with multiple nominations at The One Show, and CBS’ “See Us” Pride campaign that was just nominated for a Sports Emmy. 

    Matt has music supervised projects for Samsung, Macy’s and the recently shortlisted (One show) Uber’s “Get Your Ride Right” campaign. She is music supervising her first feature with Found Objects–the upcoming I’ll Be Right There starring Edie Falco.

    Matt’s passion for community building and art make’s her a match for the artist collective that is Found Objects. “I’m thrilled to continue to work and grow with Found Objects as their executive producer. It’s a wonderful feeling to be in community with these artists I get to call my colleagues. I’m inspired every day by their talent and kindness. I’m excited to see what we accomplish together this year,” Matt said. 

    Since 2015, Chomowicz has worked on some of Found Objects’ most high profile projects in advertising, film and TV–leading the production of original music for a wide variety of award winning campaigns for high profile brands such as Apple, Nike, Hennessy, L’Oreal and more, as well as Super Bowl spots for Mtn Dew and YouTube. He has produced scores for feature films Indignation (dir. James Schamus), Armageddon Time (dir. James Gray), and most recently produced a full piano concerto to coincide with the launch of Apple Music Classical. Chomowicz has also composed music for brands like Macy’s, Ancestry, Prudential and more. 

    Found Objects is looking forward to the release of the much-anticipated Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room. Found Objects’ ECD Gureckis has been working on creating the dramatic, piano-driven score for the entire show. This limited series starring and executive produced by Tom Holland and created by Academy Award-winning writer and executive producer Akiva Goldsman is set to be released on Friday, June 9. Also announced is the second season of Hulu’s original series Tell Me Lies, which following the success of the first season will be scored by Found Objects’ ECD Wadley.

    Raoul Peck Resurrects A Once-Forgotten Anti-Apartheid Photographer In “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    When the photographer Ernest Cole died in 1990 at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer at a Manhattan hospital, his death was little noted.

    Cole, one of the most important chroniclers of apartheid-era South Africa, was by then mostly forgotten and penniless. Banned by his native country after the publication of his pioneering photography book "House of Bondage," Cole had emigrated in 1966 to the United States. But his life in exile gradually disintegrated into intermittent homelessness. A six-paragraph obituary in The New York Times ran alongside a list of death notices.

    But Cole receives a vibrant and stirring resurrection in Raoul Peck's new film "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found," narrated in Cole's own words and voiced by LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which opens in theaters Friday, is laced throughout with Cole's photographs, many of them not before seen publicly.

    As he did in his Oscar-nominated James Baldwin documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," the Haitian-born Peck shares screenwriting credit with his subject. "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is drawn from Cole's own writings. In words and images, Peck brings the tragic story of Cole to vivid life, reopening the lens through which Cole so perceptively saw injustice and humanity.

    "Film is a political tool for me," Peck said in a recent interview over lunch in Manhattan. "My job is to go to the widest audience possible and try to give them something to help them understand where they are, what they are doing, what role they are playing. It's about my fight today. I don't care about the past."

    "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is a movie layered with meaning that goes beyond Cole's work. It asks questions not just about the societies Cole documented but of how he was treated as an artist,... Read More
