Forest Whitaker, Thomasin McKenzie, Vera Farmiga and Richard E. Grant will lead the voice cast for “Gossamer,” an animated series adaptation of Lois Lowry’s novel.
The eight-part, half-hour animated series is produced by Bron Media’s virtual production and service company Bron Digital, which develops premium animation, interactive games and movies using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine.
Rounding out the cast for “Gossamer” is Wilmer Valderrama, Alanna Masterson and Courtney Rosemont, who makes her debut.
“Gossamer” is based on the young adult novel by Lowry, whose books include “The Giver” and “The Willoughbys” — the latter of which was previously adapted by Bron as an animated feature for Netflix.
Written by Crystal Meers, and directed by Azazel Jacobs and Heidi Bivens, “Gossamer” takes children and adults on a journey through the world of dreams and nightmares.
The show centers on Littlest One, who is an in-training Gossamer, a fairy who is a dream giver.

Bron Studios is lending a helping hand to Aapi Creatives, a networking group started by Zosimo Maximo to amplify Asian American voices working in the industry.
Maximo used Clubhouse to form a group of Aapi filmmakers who are inspired to change the narrative in Hollywood and build new opportunities for themselves. The group consists of Becky Baihui Chen, D.J. Jiang, Serena Rasoul, Diane Paragas, Jay DasGupta, Ashwini Prasad, Dinh Thai, Soma Helmi, Ruth Du and David Moriya.
Brenda Gilbert, the co-founder and president of Bron Studios, said it wasn’t until this year that she realized how much power Clubhouse had in terms of “getting people together and having open conversations with like-minded people that you wouldn’t generally have access to before.” Gilbert said she wants to make herself accessible to the members of Maximo’s networking group.

Bron Media, leveraging its expertise in producing CGI-animated titles like Netflix’s The Willoughbys and acknowledging the pressure to explore new business models during Covid-19, has launched a digital division.
Jason Chen will lead production and technology as Head of Digital. He will oversee the virtual production and service unit as it develops and produces long-form animation for series television, short-form content and motion pictures. Chen began in visual effects, working on Avatar, and has gone on to support technical integrations. His credits include Jojo Rabbit, Real Steel, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Bumblebee and Thor: Ragnarok.
Bron Digital is aiming to marry linear animation work with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine-centered virtual production, which the company says will yield high-quality content with much faster turnarounds.

Vancouver-based Bron Media Corp. (“Greyhound”) has launched Bron Digital, a new virtual production division that will marry its traditional CG-animation with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine-centered workflow. Visual Effects industry vet Jason Chen (“Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens”) will serve as head of Digital.
Bron Digital’s first project will be the animated series, “Fables,” based on the timeless teachings of “Aesop’s Fables,” but with a modern twist. The eight-episode series is created by Kevin Turen (“Euphoria”), directed by Azazel Jacobs (“The Lovers”), and production designed by Oscar nominee Ra Vincent (Jojo Rabbit”). Three additional original animated series and digital film productions are scheduled to begin this summer.
With the pandemic hastening Bron’s live-action production and pushing back its theatrical slate, the company needed to diversify its animation business. It turned to financial partner Creative Wealth Media for additional revenue to launch the new virtual production division.

Reacting to the coronavirus pandemic shutting down production, Bron Media is launching an animation division for series television, short-form content and motion pictures.
On Wednesday, Bron Digital announced the appointment of industry veteran Jason Chen to lead production and technology. The company said the shutdown has delayed its theatrical releases such as “Candyman” and “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” leading it to shift resources to the new division in order to ensure an additional revenue stream with production finance partners Creative Wealth Media.
“We needed to shift,” said Bron Media CEO Aaron L. Gilbert. “The company directed much of its creative and production teams towards the creation and now launch of this new division. Animation has been the only area of Bron capable of being in production during this pandemic as our production team is set up remotely. We feel fortunate to be working through the logistics of scaling this area of our company during these difficult times.

It's tax season, and the Us' largest tax prep company is using a YouTube-based strategy to get young people jazzed up about the prospect of filing their returns. H&R Block has launched Billion Back Records, a new "label" that will feature music videos from ten different YouTube creators. The ten participating YouTube channels represent an eclectic group ranging from rockers to vloggers. The honey-voiced Clara Chung leads things off, with Pomplamoose, Dia Frampton, Julia Sheer, iJustine, Joey Graceffa, Jason Chen, Jimmy Wong, Meghan Camarena, and Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers right behind her. "I'm so excited to be working with H&R Block on a video celebrating how good it feels to get money back," said Chung, "showing how taxes can actually be fun!" The individual videos are housed on each creator's individual channel, though they are funded by H&R Block and aggregated together on the Billion Back Records homepage,...

This interview is part of our ongoing series related to The Influence Project.
A number of people have told me they believe Steve Jobs is the most influential person on the Internet. If that's true, what does that make Gizmodo editor Brian Lam, the journalist who lit the fuse on "antennagate," thereby influencing Steve Jobs to acknowledge the flaw that led an unspecified number of iPhone 4s to drop phone calls? It's certainly reasonable to argue that Gizmodo's coverage piled much straw on Apple's back, perhaps even to the breaking point. And it will cost Apple an estimated $175 million in free phone bumpers and cases. At any rate, one can assume that Jobs is chagrined that the company Apple has threatened to sue (over its temporary possession of a prototype iPhone 4) was partially responsible for last Friday's worldwide press conference/apology.
How this happened is an intriguing case study in how influence flows.

San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Clifford Cretan today granted an application from the San Mateo County District Attorney asking that the search warrant used to search Gizmodo blogger Jason Chen's home be withdrawn. Chen, as I'm sure everyone remembers, wrote the original article exposing the iPhone 4, months before its official unveiling. The phone Chen examined as his basis for the article was obtained through murky means, and an investigation into the affair has been ongoing for several months.
On April 23rd, California police raided Chen's home, "bashing in" his front door, and seizing an extensive list of electronic items, including four computers and two servers, using a search warrant issued by the San Mateo County D.A. That search warrant has come under fire: Many, including Gizmodo's legal counsel and our own legal resource, Lawrence J. Siskind, believe the search warrant invalid.

So, Dmitry Medvedev has hit California for a three-day tour. He's safe, since Jack Bauer is probably holed up with a caipirinha (caipirosky?) on a South American beach. (I could tell you where, but then I'd have to go dark and, without triangulation, courtesy of Chloe O'Brian, we'd be in serious schtuck.) Gubernator Schwartzenegger, who received him in San Francisco yesterday, just doesn't do that kind of stuff any more. But it's what Medvedev's doing later on today that's the interesting bit.

CNBC is reporting that Judge Clifford Cretan, who approved the original search warrant which led to the raid on Gizmodo blogger Jason Chen's house, is releasing the warrant itself. It's an easy decision to make; Wired already released the name of the person who sold the iPhone to Gizmodo, and most of the details are extremely public knowledge. So what does the warrant show?
First, it shows that Apple did indeed call the San Mateo police department to report the iPhone stolen and request an investigation, which was the catalyst for this whole disaster. The case was turned over to React, the state's high-tech crimes unit, to investigate.
But more importantly, it explicitly refers to Brian Hogan, the person who found and sold the iPhone, as a suspect, while Jason Chen is not referred to as a suspect. It also (for the last time, people) calls Gizmodo an "Internet based magazine,...

Surely this can't have happened? After the media and legal storm surrounding Gizmodo's leak of the iPhone 2010 prototype, how did another phone break free? It certainly seems the real deal and we can glean a few extra details from it.
As MacRumors reports, the new images surfaced at a Vietnamese forum called TaoViet.tn--and unsurprisingly this Web site is now experiencing problems, probably due to the massive traffic hit it's currently taking. So the original images and even cached backups may not be currently accessible if you try to look. But there's certainly a ton of them, showing the phone from all angles in people's hands and on a desk, including the disassembled body and uncovered chipsets. In other words, this is pretty much confirmed as the genuine article.
How did it get out? We don't know for sure--TaoViet.tn apparently relates the story that a Vietnamese businessman bought it in the U.

The Gizmodo iPhone saga is notoriously tough to figure out--our Choose Your Own Adventure story and flowchart were designed to show exactly how murky these legal waters are. There are a lot of theories floating around, many of which have all the legal authority of a 4chan diploma. To figure out what's what, I talked with Lawrence J. Siskind, a former special counsel to President Ronald Reagan and partner in the San Francisco law firm Harvey Siskind Llp, which specializes in trade secrets.
This first thing to clear up once and for all is that no matter how much we in the media love to discuss blogging vs. journalism, the law does not make a distinction. Whether the shield law applies has nothing to do with the format of a writer's publication--Siskind confirmed that without hesitation. "That's pretty clearly established in California," he said.

Jon Stewart isn't too happy with Apple going all-Microsoft on Gizmodo. "The Daily Show" anchor labeled the software giant "Appholes" for raiding computer blogger Jason Chen's home.
It all started with an unnamed Apple employee accidentally, or some speculated on purpose, leaving at a still-unreleased version of iPhone at a California bar. A bar patron apparently found it and sold it to the technology weblog Gizmodo for ,000.
Chen, the website's editor, then posted on the website the phone's features and even disassembled it for further study.
He then revealed that last week, police raided his home and seized four computers and two servers in connection with the iPhone information leak.

This is the only freely-circulating photograph in existence of Gordon M. Snow, the newly-appointed deputy director of the FBI Cyber Division. But then, the FBI is probably marginally more aware of social networking etiquette than other crime and espionage agencies around the world. The [redacted for reasons of security]-year-old has been with the FBI since March 1992, and has served in theaters of war such as Afghanistan, Yemen, and Silicon Valley. So, can he strip a computer down--Jason Chen's, say--as quickly as he can an Ak-47? I'm not about to ask him.
Seems like a regular guy: Hailing from Detroit, Snow spent his formative years in Michigan, and gained a B.A. in English from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, before joining the Marine Corps. He's also got an M.B.A. (handy for startups, one would think) from Virginia Tech and a J.D. from Catholic University's Columbus School of Law.

According to Gizmodo, California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team raided the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen on Friday night while Chen was out to dinner, searching for evidence in connection with the Apple iPhone 4 leak story Gizmodo published last week. The police team broke down his front door (Jason says they "bashed it open") and searched his house for "a few hours" before Chen even got home. Once he arrived, they served him with a warrant signed by a San Mateo, California judge and confiscated various items from his home. These included four computers, two servers, three hard drives, assorted gadgetry (cameras, iPhone, iPad, cellphones), and, oddly, a box of business cards.

By now you may have read Gizmodo’s story about the leaked iPhone 4G prototype.
No, the iPhone 4G doesn’t look quite as cool as the picture above, but it’s a close second. Apple has been quiet as usual about device’s specifications and design, except for its release date in June, 2010.
However, through a series of unfortunate events (for Apple and one of its engineers) a prototype was left in a California bar and ended up in the hands of Gizmodo. That site published extensive coverage of not just the device but also how it came to the editor, Jason Chen (short version: they paid five grand). For its part Apple sent a legal document to Gizmodo demanding that the prototype iPhone be returned — all but admitting that the prototype is indeed the iPhone 4G to be released from Cupertino two months from now.

Over the weekend, Gizmodo gained possession of a fourth generation Apple iPhone. This is a monumental scoop for a gadget blog. Any news outlet would be thrilled to unveil such a coveted new device before Steve Jobs had a chance to do it himself. And while you're likely to read about this coup in mainstream news outlets across the globe, not many of the news outlets writing about Gizmodo would have allowed themselves to procure the device the way the "world's most fun technology website" did, nor would they have followed up the story in quite the same way. This is the story of how that came to pass--at least to the best of our ability to re-construct it right now. (Disclosure: I used to work for Gizmodo until a few months ago, and Fast Company often syndicates Gizmodo articles as part of an ongoing partnership.)

While the fate of "Terminator" franchise rights is yet to be known at least until February 2010 and the future of the film series is still in doubt, McG still plans another "Terminator" film.

A fifth has been in development, though it hasn't gone terribly far, given the financial instability of rights holder Halcyon. Prior to release, Terminator: Salvation was said to be the first film in a new trilogy, and director McG had previously said he wanted to make the additional films. Last night, during the Bd-Live commentary on Salvation, McG said he still plans to make those movies. The only transcript of the chat I have right now is the liveblog done by a slightly beered-up Jason Chen at Gizmodo.
