    David O. Russell’s corruption tale “American Hustle,” Spike Jonze’s digital romance “Her,” and Steve McQueen’s historic saga “12 Years a Slave” are among the motion picture nominees for the Producers Guild of America.

    Ten films were announced as contenders on Thursday, including the Woody Allen comedy “Blue Jasmine,” Somali pirate thriller “Captain Phillips,” AIDS drama “Dallas Buyers Club,” lost-in-space odyssey “Gravity,” small-town comedy “Nebraska,” making-of-”Mary Poppins” story “Saving Mr. Banks,” and stockbroker feat “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

    Additionally, five films are in the running for the PGA Animated Film honor: “The Croods,” “Despicable Me 2,” “Epic,” “Frozen” and “Monsters University.”

    Director Cassandra Brooksbank Joins Monument Content For Spots and Branded Content

    Friday, January 31, 2025

    Monument Content has signed director Cassandra “Cassie” Brooksbank for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content. She brings to her directing and storytelling the experience and skills of a writer, conceptual artist, editor and visual effects artist.

    Her body of work as a director includes Pepsi’s “Selfie” featuring Lionel Messi amid a flurry of fans, Barclays madcap women’s Soccer League spot where she collaborated closely with the agency to develop the creative, ultimately winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Sports Industry Awards, and a grass-roots campaign for Fellow Coffee. The latter just didn’t brew buzz; it helped raise $1.2 million on Kickstarter.

    Prior to joining Monument Content, Brooksbank had been repped in the U.S. for commercials by production house Hey Wonderful.

    On the long-form front, she is repped by CAA for film and television. And on the horizon is her debut feature, My Masterpiece, produced by Sylvester Stallone’s Balboa Productions and backed by Amazon.
