"This year's opening was the best we've ever had," says Kirk Hokanson, President of the AICP Minnesota chapter and New Technology Chair. "It was inspired and entertaining and done with such finesse." To view the AICP Sponsor Open, please click here. "We definitely challenged ourselves with the approach based on the timeframe, but it was worth it," says Shultz. "Developing the concept from the ground up, and infusing it with humor and fun - we were thrilled to create the AICP Sponsor Open, even if we pulled all-nighters like the project's inspiration!" IMAGINARY FORCES CREATES VISUALLY COMPELLING RE-BRAND OF USA NETWORK
The USA re-design montage was first shown on July 7th on the jumbotron in New York's Times Square, and then officially launched on the network on July 8th. Collaborating with USA VP, Brand Creative Lorenzo de Guttadauro and SVP, Marketing and Brand Strategy Chris McCumber, Imaginary Forces developed a network package that would represent the new USA Network tagline, "Characters Welcome." As a live-action package, the design reinforces the uniqueness of people and the network's new humanity-based position. "The clients wanted their on-air identity to have a strong connective tissue, and they asked us to come up with something that would unify the look of the whole network," explains Brian Mah, Imaginary Forces Director/Creative Director. "The goal with this project was to find a way to visually embody the network's commitment to a character-driven identity."

Netflix, the world's largest online movie rental service, and The Possible Films Collection, the distribution company of filmmakers Hal Hartley and Steve Hamilton, today announced a promotional agreement through which Netflix will promote and merchandise the DVD release of their project The Girl From Monday. The film made its worldwide debut at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005, and then screened at MoMA in New York as part of the "premieres" series celebrating the re-opening of the museum. The film had a successful theatrical release this spring in cities nationwide via The Possible Films Collection. The Girl From Monday DVD will be available exclusively to more than three million Netflix members beginning (July 19, 2005). Netflix will utilize members' past film rating and rental histories to identify and promote The Girl From Monday to viewers with an interest in similar films. A funny and thought-provoking farce told in the rhythms of a sci-fi thriller, The Girl From Monday invites viewers to consider a world where citizens are actually proud to be stock options whose market value fluctuates depending on their sexual activity. This world is a place where sex for pure pleasure is against the law, and one's credit rating determines everything. The Girl From Monday stars Sabrina Lloyd, of the CBS series Numb3rs, as well as Bill Sage and Leo Fitzpatrick, and features the film debut of international model Tatiana Abracos.
