Leading the paradigm shift in sales and marketing communications, Directorz, Lucky Post and Lucky Twenty One have launched the Fatbaby app: the first native app for the production and post industry engineered with the power of Wiredrive in conjunction with Shogun to deliver custom presentations. The app, available for free via the App Store (http://bit.ly/FatbabyApp) unites the three sister companies under the Fatbaby brand.
“Busy producers and creatives need information tailored to the assignments and projects at hand rather than a general overview of projects,” comments Fatbaby co-founder Tammie Kleinmann. “Our app is a direct response to this need for rapid-fire, hyper-custom information gathering anywhere and anytime. We believe it enhances in person and virtual communication, and see it as the next wave for our industry.”
The reduced relevancy of the traditional group sales presentations inspired the Fatbaby App’s design in collaboration with Brian Linder of Opposite, Inc. With Fatbaby, custom presentations and push notifications provide relevant and timely information to users iPhones and iPads – today’s handheld screening rooms.
"We are very excited to see an innovative company like Fatbaby use their resources and creativity to build a custom application that leverages the Wiredrive platform,” says Wiredrive Partner Bill Sewell. “I think it will be a valuable tool to present work in a new, engaging way. We hope to see more ideas like this in the coming year."
The Fatbaby brand was inspired by the happy fish-riding icon designed for production company Lucky Twenty One and post house Lucky Post. “Instant happiness” was the immediate response to the playful cherubic figure. The family of companies, including Directorz, adopted Fatbaby as the connecting brand.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
