Planet Single (Planeta Singli) a romantic comedy written by Sam Akina and Jules Jones, and directed by Mitja Okorn for Gigant Films has premiered in Warsaw, Poland. The film is the second feature collaboration between Okorn, Akina and Jones. Their first collaboration, Letters to Santa (Listy do M.) was one of the highest grossing films in Polish history. (the sequel to that project, Lisy do M. 2, IS the highest grossing Polish film of all time). Planet Single is a modern tale of internet romance starring Maciej Stuhr as the cynical host of a popular yet controversial sketch comedy show who strikes a deal with a prudish music teacher (Agnieszka Więdłocha) to lampoon her dating life on national television. The film also stars Tomasz Karolak and Weronika Książkiewicz as a couple in a tempestuous relationship that is exacerbated when their tech savvy daughter (Joanna Jarmołowicz) uses the titular Tinder-esque app to play them against each other. Planet Single opens in theaters across Poland on Feb 5th. Check out our pic from the premier as well as the latest trailer below!

Our latest music video "One Hell Of A Ride" is live!
In our fourth collaboration with Iowa hiphop phenom Kemyst we decided to focus on his live performance, address his growing celebrity and include some of the other local artists in the scene. The concert clips and crowd interactions in the video were completely spontaneous and genuine - with many of them unaware they were being filmed. Their excitement and enjoyment speak volumes to Kemyst's craft as a live performer.
