Let’s start with some big props for Sophie Jones, the highly regarded independent film that was shot in Portland and opened both in theaters and online this week.
Distributed by Oscilloscope Laboratories and “inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up,” Sophie Jones has won several excellent reviews and been included in a number of prestigious film festivals. A special shout out to our friends, family and clients — Skyler Verity (Zuri Agency), Tristan Decker, Natalie Shershow and Hannah Sapitan — for their part in this project.
Take a look below at the trailer then go here to watch the film online. (In addition to watching the film via this link, it’s also available via Amazon Prime and Apple.)
Sending out some big love to two of our clients, Mary Krantz and Rollyn Stafford, for their recent on-set successes.
Mary’s been cast in a fan film based on the popular video game The Last of Us. She’ll be on set when the crew lands in Portland next week. You can peep the production’s IG (here) or their Indiegogo (here) for more information.
Zombie Walk is the name of Rollyn’s most recent project. It’s been selected to appear at four film festivals and recently won Best Horror Film at the Oregon Short Film Festival. Next week, it’ll be screening at the Portland International Film Festival drive-in right before Children of Men and The Matrix.
Congratulations are in order for two of our long time clients, Alex Jarmon and Jack Poole (both of Ryan Artists), on their appearances in the recently released film, Young Hearts. Also on that project were our friends Austin Leo and Raqi Brown.
Over in the world of commercials, three of our kid clients have booked some nice projects over the past few months. Sisters Akina and Zendaya (Ryan Artists) have scored 3 photo shoots and commercial while our long time bestie, Drake Maul (Zuri Agency), just wrapped a Pemco commercial.
A big shout-out to our longtime client and good friend, Cherish Hales (Zuri Agency), who’s been bulking up her acting resume like a boss. Along with spots on the Netflix film, All Together Now, she’s worked on Shrill, Trinkets and the upcoming TBS series, Chad.
Last, but not least, a tip of the hat to our headshot clients, Amelia Anderson and Becca McCormick, who recently signed with the Zuri Agency.
