Congratulations to our colleagues at VICE Studios Group for two News & Documentary Emmy Award nominations! From VICE Studios and co-directors Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufman, "Superpower" has been nominated in the Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary category. In this powerful film, Sean Penn heads to Ukraine to learn more about comedic-actor turned president, Volodymyr Zelensky. But when Penn finds himself in an undisclosed bunker of the Presidential Palace on the evening of the Russian invasion, he instead has a front row seat to Zelensky's greatest challenge as a world leader. "Encounters," a landmark four-part series that travels the globe to explore four extraordinary true stories of encounters with otherworldly phenomena, has been nominated in the Outstanding Science and Technology Documentary category. Produced in partnership with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and Boardwalk Pictures, the series highlights the profoundly human impact of these encounters on lives, families, and communities.

🎥 Exciting news! "Pavements," a unique film exploring the legendary 90s indie band Pavement, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival! 🌟 This innovative documentary-musical hybrid, produced by Pulse Films, a VICE Studios Group company, intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously taking you behind the scenes of the making of a musical, a museum, and a Hollywood biopic, all inspired by their incredible journey. Don't miss it! 🎸✨

🚀 Does your brand have the courage to let culture lead? At our recent panel, we explored this compelling idea alongside Maya Dukes at Delta Air Lines and Kimberly Hobbs at the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are the key takeaways: 🌍 Embrace the New Culture Economy: Mass marketing is out. Success now hinges on engaging with dynamic, niche communities driven by cultural passions. Brands that understand and participate in these cultures will thrive. 🔄 Participate in the Cultural Exchange: Everyone is now a creator sharing with their communities. If brands want to access these communities, they need to participate in the culture – there must be a cultural exchange between brand and community. 🎨 Involve Cultural Drivers: To create culturally relevant content, brands must involve those who shape and drive culture in their creative processes. We also introduced PIGEON 🐦, our innovative consultancy which uses AI to help your brand thrive in the cultural economy. Want to learn more?
