A new production company is on the mission to bring weird science to life through story.
Neuroscientist and Stanford professor Dr. David Eagleman has teamed up with producers Matt Tauber and Adam Fratto to launch Cognito Entertainment, an independent production company centered around science programming and films. The Los Angeles and Palo Alto-based company has already begun working on scripted television series, documentaries and literary adaptation.
“We are living in an unparalleled moment of scientific advancement,” said Eagleman. “From brains to space to genetics, there are endless mind-blowing stories to share. In a world that sometimes seems upside-down, science can be a source of great inspiration, wonder, and belief.”
In addition to his scientific work, Eagleman is a best-selling author, Guggenheim fellow and Emmy-nominated screenwriter.

The Brady organization against gun violence is calling on Hollywood writers, directors and producers to examine onscreen gun violence and depictions of gun safety, asking the creative community to sign a pledge that’s already garnered more than 200 signatures of such names as Judd Apatow, Shonda Rhimes, Damon Lindelof and Jimmy Kimmel and the writers of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The pledge, while noting that the “responsibility lies with lax gun laws supported by those politicians more afraid of losing power than saving lives,” acknowledges that “America’s storytellers” have the power to “effect change.”
“Cultural attitudes toward smoking, drunk driving, seatbelts and marriage equality have all evolved due in large part to movies’ and TV’s influence. It’s time to take on gun safety,” the Brady pledge states, and goes on to ask writers, directors and producers to, whenever possible, to:

A staple of the Sundance Film Festival since Courtney Hunt’s Frozen River in ’08, her Park City premiered filmography as a cinematographer was followed by Little Birds, Shut Up And Play The Hits, For Ellen, Kill Your Darlings, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, and last year’s The Skeleton Twins and War Story. Late this summer, Reed Morano took an all-encompassing approach to visual storytelling, taking on double duties as director first, cinematographer second. Olivia Wilde toplines Meadowland and the hard-hitting drama includes the likes of Luke Wilson, John Leguizamo, Elisabeth Moss, Giovanni Ribisi, Juno Temple, Kevin Corrigan, Scott Mescudi and Ty Simpkins. The ideal kind of auteur theory should be more inclusive. Add cinematographers. Case in point.
Gist: Written by Chris Rossi, this follows a couple, David and Sarah, dealing with their son’s disappearance. David finds solace in a traditional form of healing, only to lose his moral compass.

NEW YORK -- This directorial debut from Matt Tauber, adapted from a play by David Greig, interweaves the stories of two families, one headed by a community activist and the other a well-heeled architect who designed the low-income housing project that the activist seeks to have torn down.
But while it provides a sometimes thoughtful examination of modern sociological issues, "The Architect" unfortunately succumbs to melodrama in its depiction of its troubled characters.
The titular figure is Leo Waters (Anthony LaPaglia), who lives with his family in an upscale Chicago suburb. His lifestyle contrasts dramatically with that of Tonya (Viola Davis), who lives in Eden Court, a dilapidated housing project on the South Side that the idealistic Leo designed years ago in the style of Le Corbusier.
One day, Tonya shows up at Leo's college course to request that he sign a petition for the buildings to be torn down, which the affronted architect refuses to do.
But the characters do have something in common, namely difficult home fronts. Leo's wife (Isabella Rossellini) is depressed to the point of near catatonia. His physically blossoming teen daughter (Hayden Panettiere) is desperate to lose her virginity. And his son (Sebastian Stan) has just dropped out of college.
For her part, Tonya, whose first son committed suicide, has one daughter who is an irresponsible single mother and another who is temporarily living with an upscale family not far from Leo's home.
Interesting and provocative when dealing with its themes involving the social responsibilities of modern housing, the film is unconvincing and contrived in its depiction of its troubled characters. Despite the best efforts of LaPaglia and Davis, who deliver sensitive, well nuanced performances, "The Architect" suffers from over-the-top design and shaky construction.
NEW YORK -- This directorial debut from Matt Tauber, adapted from a play by David Greig, interweaves the stories of two families, one headed by a community activist and the other a well-heeled architect who designed the low-income housing project that the activist seeks to have torn down.
But while it provides a sometimes thoughtful examination of modern sociological issues, "The Architect" unfortunately succumbs to melodrama in its depiction of its troubled characters.
