    LOS ANGELES --

    Visual effects and color studio JAMM has added colorists Beau Leon and Jess Jinx (née Vile) to its roster.

    Leon began working with JAMM earlier this year and has a track record of collaborating with leading DPs and directors. His body of work crosses commercials, feature films, documentaries and music videos. He launched his career with the iconic R.E.M. music video “Losing My Religion,” and has subsequently worked with assorted high-profile artists, filmmakers and brands. He is the first non-director to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the MVPA.

    Jinx ventured to the U.S. after 10 years working with Framestore in the U.K. As a colorist across the pond, she brings with her a wealth of experience working with brands such as BBC, Spotify, Jimmy Choo, Dr. Marten, Campari, and Cartier. Her body of work spans commercials, long-form music videos and episodic productions.

    JAMM’s executive producer Ashley Greyson said, “Beau is Beau. His vision is unmatched and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have him coloring with us. And Jess’ arrival brings a refreshing wave of energy and talent to our team. With them both on board, we look forward to continuing to provide the highest level of expertise and service that defines JAMM.”

    Rounding out the JAMM team alongside Jinx, Leon and Greyson are veteran color assistant Aldo Rosati and color producer Dan Ginks. Executive producer and founding partner of JAMM,  Asher Edwards, added, “I’m excited to launch our second color suite, which not only helps fuel the evolution of JAMM, but also gives us even more resources to service the most creative storytellers in the industry.”

    Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist and Writer, Dies At 95

    Tuesday, January 21, 2025

    Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose prolific output ranged from a long-running comic strip to plays, screenplays and children's books, died Friday. He was 95 and, true to his seemingly tireless form, published his last book just four months ago.

    Feiffer's wife, writer JZ Holden, said Tuesday that he died of congestive heart failure at their home in Richfield Springs, New York, and was surrounded by friends, the couple's two cats and his recent artwork.

    Holden said her husband had been ill for a couple of years, "but he was sharp and strong up until the very end. And funny."

    Artistically limber, Feiffer hopscotched among numerous forms of expression, chronicling the curiosity of childhood, urban angst and other societal currents. To each he brought a sharp wit and acute observations of the personal and political relations that defined his readers' lives.

    As Feiffer explained to the Chicago Tribune in 2002, his work dealt with "communication and the breakdown thereof, between men and women, parents and children, a government and its citizens, and the individual not dealing so well with authority."

    Feiffer won the United States' most prominent awards in journalism and filmmaking, taking home a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons and "Munro," an animated short film he wrote, won a 1961 Academy Award. The Library of Congress held a retrospective of his work in 1996.

    "My goal is to make people think, to make them feel and, along the way, to make them smile if not laugh," Feiffer told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 1998. "Humor seems to me one of the best ways of espousing ideas. It gets people to listen with their guard down."

    Feiffer was born on Jan. 26, 1929, in the Bronx. From... Read More
