PSA for the Jewish Film Festival in LA

Today we did some post production work on a PSA for the Jewish Film Festival in Los Angeles (May 11th, 2008) to help out a friend who worked on “Couch Cases”.

There wasn’t a lot of heavy lifting needed, as the spot centers around a live action puppet show. It should be up on YouTube soon, though, and it was a fun couple of hours.

New Television Commercial Project

We’re now working on a new television commercial, which you’ll be able to see on a network station near you very soon.You’ll also be able to see it online, of course. We wouldn’t be living up to our mission if we didn’t craft a multi-platform campaign for our clients.

We’re in Beta

Welcome to our Beta Launch! 

Genius Monkeys is a brand new production company that does video and interactive projects. I founded Genius Monkeys after having run Empty Street Productions, a very successful web design and development company, for many years.

It’s clear that television and the Internet are converging. And people are getting used to enjoying their entertainment in new ways, from mobile devices like the iPhone and PSP to  YouTube and video sites like Veoh. People are finding out about products and services in new ways, too.

But things are moving so fast that companies don’t know how to take advantage of these new opportunities. Old style “analog” production companies don’t know how to make things work in digital land. And strict web and online companies don’t know how to tell stories effectively.

That’s where Genius Monkeys comes in. We leverage our vast experience with online and web with some of the best technical and creative talent in Hollywood to create projects that stand out. When you work with us, you’re working with a creative studio that understands how to tell your story.

And we understand how to get it out there.
