Jon Handschin, CPO and co-founder of Moviepilot, was invited to join the International Media Convention as part of IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The event was held on Tuesday and addressed the issue of ‘smart cinema’ and how social media is changing the film industry. Jon was part of a panel discussion that included renowned industry professionals, including Marco Kreuzpaintner (Director, Founder and CCO of Summerstorm Entertainment); Kasten Aurich (Managing Director at Sabotage Films) and Oliver Damian (Producer/Managing Director at 27 Films Productions).

Moviepilot just celebrated its 5th birthday, and to celebrate we had an epic summer bash/family reunion at Roadrunner’s Rock and Motor Club! BBQ, friendly drinks, tunes and most of all, our extended Moviepilot family getting together to let the good times roll.
Thanks to Claudia & Co for planning, @nuc for the photos, and most of all the Moviepilots out there who came to party with us!
Ever wonder what Moviepilot Labs, the headquarters for Moviepilot, is like? Sure you might be seeing some glimpses here and there, but what’s it really got going? We know we don’t have the most conventional-looking offices around, and frankly, we think they suit our unique, laid-back vibe. And what makes our Moviepilot Labs team really love this place? In a word: Style.
お握り(hiragana: おにぎり), onigiri [pronounced: oh-nee-gee-ree]
Some might say that Moviepilot Labs has a special affection of Japan… a couple of us have even lived (and loved) there, and speak the language. Others of us are simply manga and anime maniacs with Totoro and Jiji on our desks. But there are always our regular rounds of sushi or visits to some of Berlin’s best Japanese restaurants… we just can’t get enough!
With that in mind, Ben (@omdb) decided to grace our pre-May Day Monday with a treat of homemade rice balls (called onigiri). Onigiri are the go-to snack for schoolkids, office workers, picnickers and pretty much everyone else. More triangles than balls, and filled with everything from seaweed to salmon, they are little ricey packets of tasty goodness. And we had them right at our bar… two words: ‘yum’ and ‘moar’!

Special thanks to Ben, Natsuko and @leawillkuchen!
Last Friday, Formal Friday made a comeback after a couple weeks off…the first week back is always the hardest! Scotch makes it worthwhile.
Special thanks to @leawillkuchen
Moviepilot Labs’ very own superhero, Oliver, here to save the day!
