Check out the full list here.
Fresh off an Emmy Win, Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg’s New Spot for Skip’s Biggest Campaign Yet
Co-produced by Caviar and Spy Films, ‘Writers Room’ marks the launch of Skip’s biggest campaign to date, created by indie agency Courage. Directed by and starring Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, the spot spoofs Hollywood tropes as the pair struggle to write a blockbuster, only to have every plot ruined by Skip’s impossibly convenient service. Blending cinematic production with Goldberg and Rogen’s signature self-aware humour (as seen in their Emmy award winning for Outstanding Comedy Series Apple TV+ series The Studio), the film positions Skip as a cultural disruptor, proving that when delivery is this good, drama doesn’t stand a chance.
ELIZA MCNITT Takes Gold at Ciclope with ‘ANCESTRA’
Last week, Chromista director Eliza McNitt won Gold in Innovation — Use of Data & AI at CICLOPE for her generative short film, ‘Ancestra‘. The film premiered at this years’ Tribeca and was created in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Creative Lab. The film blends poetry, memory and technology.
Writer and director McNitt is an Emmy Awards Finalist, and the recipient of the VR Grand Prize at The Venice Film Festival. Exploring the cosmic collision of science and art, she works alongside scientists to tell stories about the human connection to the cosmos. Her films and VR experiences have appeared at festivals including Sundance, SXSW, AFI, Cannes NEXT, Tribeca, Telluride, and the Venice Film Festival. She is a two time Intel Science Fair winner, a OneFifty creator, Alfred P. Sloan grant recipient, and winner of a 2018 Gold Screen Young Director’s Award at Cannes Lions.

Spanish directing duo XOXO (Tessa Dóniga Johnson and Paula Martin-Ferro) are now represented by Caviar in the UK, the US, France, and the Netherlands. Tessa brings a designer’s eye and strategic precision, while Paula leads with heart, narrative, and cinematic emotion. Their lived in aesthetic and storytelling flair have shaped campaigns for Meta, Sephora, Coca-Cola, IKEA, and McDonald’s, collaborating with agencies including Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, 72andSunny, and TBWA, with work recognised at Ciclope, El Oko, and the YDA‘s at Cannes.
