Fox Digital Studio (Fds) announced today that Mono, a feature-length comedy jam-packed with social media stars, is set to premiere on July 8. Fds, a multi-platform division within 21st Century Fox that produces feature films, original series, documentaries, and short-form content, says the film will be released worldwide across major digital platforms.
In addition to its traditional leads, Mono co-stars Viners Christian DelGrosso, Brandon Bowen, and Jake Paul, as well as YouTube star Eric Ochoa -- who, all told, have a combined social reach of 25 million followers.
Mono, directed by Jarrett Lee Conaway, tells the story of three social rejects who suddenly see their status rise after a mono epidemic spreads throughout the popular crowd at their high school. But as certain students begin returning to school, the trio must resort to desperate measures in order to make sure that they stay home sick.

Kring will be one of three executive producers on Exp, a pilot script by Zach Craley (Kring’s assistant on Heroes) and Jarrett Lee Conaway. The script concerns a “foreign designer drug—engineered to make you faster, smarter, stronger, and better in every way...trafficked illegally into American high schools” that creates a story involving teens, police, and politicians—a premise that is essentially 21 ...

Josh Levin wrote this great review of Zombieland for Slate back in 2009. His thesis states that Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Emma Stone’s romp through the undead, Bill Murray’s mansion, and the Southwestern United States is so good because the action unspools less like a movie and more like a movie made by a gamer who’s obsessed with first-person shooters. Here’s an excerpt: Zombie cinema has already been sliced into such thin micro-genres— zombie pole dancers! zombie Nazis! — that auteurs of the undead should probably stop striving for originality. And yet Zombieland is something new, perhaps because it borrows from another medium. While the movie may not have been hatched inside a PlayStation, Zombieland reveals why every video-game movie ever made has been horrendous. Games, particularly the kind that get optioned by Hollywood, are supposed to be fun. Movies based on games, however, take themselves altogether too seriously,...

Say what you will about the “Twilight” explosion of the last year – and everybody seems to have an opinion on whether the phenomenon is awesome or annoying – but even the haters should have a hard time complaining about how many of the franchise’s stars are using their newfound power to help young filmmakers. Jackson Rathbone has been hard at work on flicks like “Girlfriend,” Robert Pattinson has been able to bring a wider audience to quirky indies like “Little Ashes” and "How to Be,” and now comes the latest boost from Justin Chon.
“Check out this short film i did with a friend from USC,” Justin Tweeted Wednesday night, posting a link to a vimeo page with an impressive 20-minute-long film called “Turbo.” Also on the page is the trailer, both of which were posted by the film’s director Jarrett Lee Conaway.

In the spirit of Tron Legacy and Gamer comes Jarrett Lee Conaway's Turbo. A short film that combines the the feel good charm of the classic The Karate Kid with near future science fiction. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting videogame called “Super Turbo Arena”. When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cyber-sports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro-team, Hugo sets his eyes on the prize. But, Hugo isn't the only gamer who wants fame and glory. If Hugo wants to win he's going to have to beat Shamus (David Lehre, Epic Movie), the all time Turbo champ at the local Pandemonium arcade, and Ruse Kapri, a feisty prep girl that knows how to win. Realizing he can't win on his skill alone, Hugo...

Imagine yourself playing a fighting video game so real, you swear your actually there in the thick of the action. This likely futuristic concept set the backdrop for the sci-fi short film Turbo by director Jarrett Lee Conaway where cyber athletics duke it out in a total immersive gaming competition. Its sort of like my misspent youth at the local arcade pumping Street Fighter 2 full of quarters and trying to school the hotshot gamers there but minus the glossy rockstar atmosphere. Could this be the next evolutionary step of interactive gaming?
