Fandor Announces Academy Award® Winner Jared Leto As Chief Creative Fandor Announces Academy Award® Winner Jared Leto as Chief Creative Officer Fandor acquires VyRT, Leto's premium social broadcast platform. Other transformative moves: Major site redesign, distinctive new brand strategy San Francisco, CA – May 21, 2017 – Fandor, the streaming service with the largest collection of independent films, documentaries, international features and shorts, announced today that Academy Award® winner Jared Leto will join the Company as Chief Creative Officer. In this new role, Leto will be integral in establishing the creative voice that defines Fandor. He will provide ongoing creative input for the platform, including original programming, and will host one of Fandor’s live streaming events slated for later this year. “Jared joins us at a critical time in Fandor’s evolution. With the launch of our new look and feel on and off the Fandor platform, we are ready to move to series production. Jared brings his love of movies, his passion for music, and his keen eye to Fandor's audience," said Larry Aidem, President & CEO of Fandor. "Having worked for Robert Redford for a decade, I'm struck by Jared's similarly multi-dimensional artistry – actor, filmmaker, musician, producer – and remarkably broad fan base... not to mention his tech chops." Along with Leto’s creative role, Fandor will utilize VyRT, an online broadcast platform exploring the creative possibilities between content and social. VyRT, founded by Leto in 2011, and headquartered in Los Angeles, is a provider of on-demand Internet streaming media available to viewers worldwide. Said Leto, "As a longtime Fandor subscriber I developed a special appreciation for their distinctive programming and recommendation engine. Specifically, the 'human element' that sets Fandor apart from so many other services in this space, most of which are purely algorithmic. With my involvement in the broadcasting and social platform business for over 5 years with my company, VyRT, I'm very much looking forward to this collaboration and know I can bring a unique perspective [to it].” Said Gail Gendler, former AMC Sundance Channel Global acquisitions exec, who recently joined Fandor as Head of Programming, "Jared will be instrumental in our ongoing creative evolution as we dramatically expand Fandor's audience to include movie fanatics, in addition to the original base of independent film enthusiasts. Jared is that exceedingly rare artist who enjoys broad and deep appeal to movie AND film audiences. We look forward to working with him to engage our movie-loving audience with hosted live streams for films, documentaries, shorts and originals.“ In addition to Leto joining the team, Fandor has launched a major redesign of its site and is amping up their sponsorship activity. Mike Tuszynski, Chief Technology & Product Officer, who has overseen the redesign of fandor.com and will manage the integration of VyRT, commented, "At the intersection of thoughtful product design and innovative technology, Fandor is fundamentally transforming into an inspiring destination for movie fanatics, and it is very gratifying to see the vision come together fueled by an equally inspiring team." Added Dan Johns, Fandor's EVP of Advertising & Sponsorships, who most recently oversaw brand strategy at Twitter, "Following a year of extensive discussions with agencies and brands, we are confident that we have a winning combination. We are thrilled to be working with Lexus, CA Technologies, and a host of others to offer the combination of premium, brand-safe video and native platform opportunities targeted to connected movie lovers. Fandor is delighted and appreciative to have them as launch partners." About Fandor Fandor handpicks and streams nearly 6,000 award-winning and independently produced titles from around the world. With over 500 genres, from the classics to the latest festival favorites, Fandor connects a global community of movie lovers through curated content through our movie library, digital site and social platforms. The Company is expanding its content syndication through established and emerging OTT services and OEMs. Fandor is available on desktop, iOS, Android, and on TV through Roku, AppleTV and Chromecast.

  • Co-Creating an Engaging Live-Streamed Concert with Potential Viewers
    Co-creating an engaging live-streamed concert with potential viewers Pursiainen, Erika 2016 Leppävaara Laurea University of Applied Sciences Leppävaara Co-creating an engaging live-streamed concert with potential viewers Erika Pursiainen Degree Programme in Service Innovation and Design Master’s Thesis February 2016 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Abstract Leppävaara Degree Programme in Service Innovation and Design Erika Pursiainen Co-creating an engaging live-streamed concert with potential viewers Year 2016 Pages 111 This master’s thesis is an academic development project. Through service design and co- creation, the project takes a practical and human-centered approach to defining what aspects engage viewers with a live-streamed concert. Taking an interactive approach to viewer engagement, the project also seeks to identify the co-creational aspects of an engaging live-streamed concert. By doing this, the thesis builds on existing knowledge, both academic and professional, on concert live streaming, value co-creation and viewer engagement. The need for this thesis arises from a gap in related academic research, documented professional knowledge on concert live streaming and data on aspects, which engage viewers with live-streamed concerts. To deliver relevant findings, the thesis was produced in cooperation with a partner company, a live streaming startup, and a case concert, a weekly singer-songwriters’ night, both of which are based in Nashville Tennessee, the United States. The project takes a multi-method approach to data sourcing by combining primary and secondary research tools. Contextual information on concert live streaming was sought through a combination of ethnographic methods and desk research. The main method for the thesis was a co-creation session, which was held in Nashville in spring 2015.

  • Thirty Seconds to Mars Announce Plans for 4Th Album
    2012-05-03 13:32 CEST THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR 4TH ALBUM Thirty Seconds To Mars have announced that they are currently working on their 4th studio album, the follow-up to 2009’s global hit This Is War. The new album is a “dramatic departure from the past”, says singer and songwriter Jared Leto, describing it as being “very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more electronic than previous projects”. Leto is once again producing the album along with several other talented producers including the return of Steve Lillywhite (U2, THE KILLERS). The trio are working out of their studio in the Hollywood Hills dubbed 'ICAASS' (International Center for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Sound) or 'The Lab' for short, as well as incorporating site specific recording in locations as far reaching as India, Africa, Yosemite, the California desert and Europe. Jared spoke with Rollingstone.com about recording the upcoming album and new technology venture VyRT, the feature can be read here. The band plans to re-launch their successful event dubbed The Summit and plans to launch The Summit 2.0 as an app which will allow fans to be a part of live recording for the album through Facebook, Twitter and a new technology platform called VyRT. The band is also using VyRT for a live performance and sneak peek into the workings of Mars, inviting fans directly into The Lab studio on April 27th for a live digital experience which will include an intimate live performance, preview of their live tour film, sneak peek of their documentary film ARTIFACT, and a discussion with the band.
