    LOS ANGELES --

    Director Paul Street, known for his body of noted automotive work, has joined The Traveling Picture Show Company (TPSC) for exclusive representation. Street was previously handled for spots and branded content by his company Streetlight Productions, which he continues to maintain for other projects.

    Street comes aboard TPSC fresh off of shooting the latest Hyundai campaign. He has directed for a wide range of brands including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Snickers, Toyota, Subaru, Volvo and BMW. His work has garnered multiple BTAA, D&AD, Clio, Moondance Film, Midsummer Night and Berlin Bear Awards.

    Street said he was drawn to TPSC’s roster of directors, production savvy, sales and career support. He also cited an affinity for company EP John Noble. “I believe I am set up to offer a segment of automotive experience to TPSC that fits well within the group,” assessed Street who said of Noble, “We speak the same language and have the same thoughts about the ever-shifting ad/film/content landscape today.  For both established directors and newbies starting out, this kind of relationship with your executive producer is vital and key to communication moving forward.”

    In the big picture, he feels TPSC is a roost where he can advance by keeping pace with a changing landscape. “Production continues to evolve, especially by the way we are presented with content and media.  Content and technology is affected day to day.  Brands want to evolve with this space and how it’s delivered and tracked.  As filmmakers and creative thinkers, this data driven evolution goes hand in hand.  We must progress with the times, continuing to get out there and develop ingenious ways to create content. Technology has affected every facet.  It’s an interesting and exciting time to be a part of it and move forward.”  

    In addition to recently wrapping the Hyundai campaign, Street has completed his first film, Borderland, and has set up a web-based series of director interviews.

    TPSC is represented by MoButler Reps in the Midwest, It’s Karen! on the West Coast, Asprodites Reps in the Southeast/Southwest, and Schaffer/Rogers on the East Coast.

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
