    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --

    The trailer has launched for CURRY & CYANIDE: THE JOLLY JOSEPH CASE, India Today Original's first documentary feature with Netflix India, offering an intriguing glimpse into a sorrowful series of events. Bicoastal Union handled offline editorial for the film, with Union’s Jim Haygood & Zach Kashkett serving as Supervising Editors. Katherine LeBlond produced, alongside Moumita Sen, with two-time National Award-winner Christo Tomy directing. The doc debuts on Netflix on December 22, 2023.

    “Managing the project remotely with a talented team based in Mumbai added a unique dimension to the creative process, illustrating the power of collaboration across borders in the digital age,” said Kashkett, a Staff Editor at Union who steps into the Supervising Editor position for the first time.

    Kashkett previously edited the acclaimed 2021 Netflix India doc HOUSE OF SECRETS: THE BURARI DEATHS, also produced by LeBlond and on which Haygood served as Executive Producer/Supervising Editor. 

    Based on the Koodathayi Cyanide Case, CURRY & CYANIDE chronicles the trial of Jolly Joseph, a professor, mother, wife, and daughter mostly known for being a chatty churchgoer. She stands accused of poisoning her family of six, including a two-year-old.

    Through firsthand testimonials, director Tomy explores the dramatic contrast between the public image of Jolly Joseph and the sinister truth that lies beneath the surface.

    Lord Danger Director Parker Seaman Cooks Up A New Social Media Spot For Kraft Mac And Cheese

    Tuesday, December 17, 2024
    From “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious,” directed by Parker Seaman of Los Angeles-based production company Lord Danger and Impossible Studios, Toronto. The spot features virtual video wall technology creating the entire location digitally.

    Lord Danger director Parker Seaman put his signature comedic style and virtual production know-how into full effect for the new Kraft Mac and Cheese ad, created by the brand’s in-house agency, The Kitchen. The spot, entitled “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious” (:30), was shot virtually at one of Toronto’s virtual production stages with Impossible Studios, Seaman’s production home in Canada, using video wall technology. The new ad, which broke last month, can be seen online and on social media (Instagram and TikTok). “Before I even read the scripts, I was excited to even be considered for such an iconic brand. Then once we got into it, the agency really let me run wild with all the little details. I loved the idea that we were allowed to lean into the Western tropes as much as possible, not hold back on big performances… and ranch-flavored Mac and Cheese. Let’s be honest, I wanted a free box of ranch-flavored Mac and cheese.” Anthony Ficalora, Lord Danger Executive Producer, explained Seaman’s strong understanding of virtual video wall technology, which created the entire location digitally, except for practical elements the actors physically touch, is a huge benefit to clients like Kraft. “Parker is a master at creating visually engaging looks and on a tight timeline,” says Anthony Ficalora, Lord Danger Executive Producer. “Those skills served him well on this project as they enabled him to focus on performance and finding the right tone for the spots.” About Lord Danger Lord Danger is a creative production studio specializing in bold, innovative commercials,...
