Writer and director Nathan Catucci has been awarded the Panavision New Filmmaker Grant for his debut feature film, “Impossible Monsters.”
Cinematographer Behnood Dadfar will capture the film, with Jonathan Burkhart producing.
“Ben and I are incredibly grateful to Mike Dallatorre and Sal Giarratano [of Panavision] for their support, and we’re excited to capture with Panavision glass,” said Catucci.
“Impossible Monsters” is a thriller about an ambitious professor who becomes caught up in the murder of his student. The project kicked off with a multimedia table read hosted by the Pace Gallery in Manhattan with casting by Matthew Messinger, and principal photography begins this summer in New York City.
Panavision – a designer, manufacturer and provider of state-of-the-art cinema lenses and high-precision camera systems – launched the New Filmmaker Program as an ongoing grant program that loans camera packages to film schools, training programs, and independent filmmakers at little or no charge.

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
