"Imagine's storytelling lens has always been about highlighting inspiring stories of human achievement – or put another way – underdog stories. And there's no better setting for underdog stories than sports." – Marc Gilbar, President of Imagine's Brand division speaking at a panel last week alongside Jim Rome, Angel M., Therese Andrews, Dave Easton, and Angela Michelle Ellis moderated by Michelle Beadle at Variety's + Sportico Sports and Entertainment Summit. Imagine has created iconic films and series in the worlds of football, basketball, boxing, F1 Racing, surfing, figure skating and have some exciting projects in development in baseball, golf, NASCAR, motocross and bass fishing... where should we look next?

"Imagine has always believed that great stories are all around us and the next generation of filmmakers are more likely to be discovered on social platforms than anywhere else,” said Imagine Brands, IP & Partnerships President Marc Gilbar. Placing a spotlight on these stories and their creators, we're thrilled to announce that we've partnered with Adobe and The Film Zone to create the From Minutes to Movies ShortFest! This social-first, short film festival provides an opportunity and platform for filmmakers and creators looking to cross over into longer formats.
