Following a sweeping reorganization in September that saw digital vet Jordan Levin ascending to general manager of Rooster Teeth, as three of the company’s co-founders -- Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey, and Burnie Burns -- stepped into creatively-focused roles, the Austin-based digital outfit today announced several more leadership changes.
First, Rooster Teeth has promoted Doreen Copeland (pictured above) from VP and head of production operations to VP and head of production. Throughout her tenure at Rooster Teeth, Copeland has produced myriad projects, from Lazer Team to Day 5. Additionally, the WarnerMedia-owned studio has upped two of its in-house producers -- Joe Clary and Sean Hinz to serve as its new co-heads of animation. Prior to being promoted, Clary served as lead producer for Rwby Volumes 6 and 7, while Hinz managed the production teams for Rtaa and Death Battle.
The new appointments also arrive in the wake of the departure of Gray G. Haddock,...

A film that's punched above its weight even to get a UK cinema release, we check out new sci-fi flick Lazer Team...
Since 2011, the web production company Rooster Teeth have been working on their first full length feature, drawing inspiration in equal parts from the sci-fi cult classics and underdog team sports movies that they grew up watching. The result of their efforts, Lazer Team, comes hot off the back of the highest-funded film crowd-funding campaign ever (raising $2.4 million in a month) and even attracted enough interest in international sales to get a limited theatrical run in the UK.
Starring, written and directed by the Rooster Teeth crew, Lazer Team follows a bunch of misfits - worrywart local cop Hagan (Burnie Burns), cocksure jock Zach (Michael Jones), burnt out alcoholic Herman (Colton Dunn), and dumb mullethead Woody (Gavin Free) - who are in the wrong place at...
