We've got the team that brought you the CALL OF DUTY, ASSASSINS CREED and BATMAN ARKHAM TRILOGY campaigns and so much more! That's David Wilson, Executive Producer / Co-Head of Immersive Media at Aspect (Los Angeles); Ryan Vickers, Co-Head of Games at Aspect; and Ashley Vong, Games Producer at Aspect and Women in Games Ambassador.

It's been so cool to track with folks like Ryan Vickers and David Wilson from when they were working their way up at that legendary, groundbreaking team at Ant Farm, and then as they took the leap to launch the games division at Aspect LA. Ashley Vong made her way on the theatrical side initially at Big Pic and then over at Aspect, and really hit her stride with David and Ryan (aka "my people") doing all that great work in games.

This is an in-depth conversation on each of their stories, all they've overcome, what they love working on, their perspective on the work and the industry as a whole.

Trailers, Indie Film and AI... plus Special Shoots with FX, MAX and more!

This conversation, we did a deep dive with the Chief Creative Officer of Mocean, Greg Harrison. You'll hear us delight in the art of mixing the perfect Sazerac; what it's like to be onset with the likes of Ben Stiller, Larry David, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, John Travolta and how Greg got some good acting out of LeBron James; the long road to making his first indie film, Groove, and then his second film, November; moving from trailer editing into special shoots with top notch creative teams; yeah, we get into AI and where it's gonna land in terms of tools people can use for the creative process; how Mocean is paving new ground in the modern brand space; and we take a moment to wonder whether Picasso's early showings of Guernica tested well. Plus, if you stay to the end, you get to hear about a 1 star listener review... FUN!
