    LOS ANGELES --

    Jo Arghiris is joining New York-headquartered Hornet as its first West Coast-based executive producer.

    Arghiris' experience includes VFX production in London and NYC, and shifting to design, animation, mixed media, and live action production as an EP in her current home of Los Angeles. With over 20 years of experience, Arghiris will help bolster Hornet's West Coast presence and further its work in motion design, live action, and mixed media. Her past roles include executive producer at The Mill and MPC. More recently, as an executive producer/managing director at Scholar, Arghiris worked closely with the managing partners to build out its West Coast presence.

    “We always believed that fortifying our existing relationships with brands and agencies in the West Coast market required true leadership from someone who understands the market from within. We were thrilled to meet Jo at an opportune time and knew instantly she was the exact fit for this role. Her collaborative spirit, passion for discovering and nurturing talent, and ability to push the bounds of storytelling through design and animation are all talents we truly admire, and believe can serve as an exciting Northstar for our brand in the West,” said Hana Shimizu, Hornet managing director/executive producer

    Review: Writer-Director Ari Aster’s “Eddington”

    Monday, July 14, 2025

    You might need to lie down for a bit after "Eddington." Preferably in a dark room with no screens and no talking. "Eddington," Ari Aster's latest nightmare vision, is sure to divide (along which lines, I'm can't fathom) but there is one thing I think everyone will be able to agree on: It is an experience that will leave you asking "WHAT"? The movie opens on the aggravated ramblings of an unhoused man and doesn't get much more coherent from there. Approach with caution.

    We talk a lot about movies as an escape from the stresses of the world. "Eddington," in which a small, fictional town in New Mexico becomes a microcosm for life in the misinformation age, and more specifically during the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, is very much the opposite of that. It is an anti-escapist symphony of masking debates, conspiracy theories, YouTube prophets, TikTok trends and third-rail topics in which no side is spared. Most everyone looks insane and ridiculous by the end, from the white teenage girl (Amélie Hoeferle) telling a Black cop (Michael Ward) to join the movement, to the grammatical errors of the truthers, as the town spirals into chaos and gruesome violence.

    Joaquin Phoenix plays the town sheriff, a soft-spoken wife-guy named Joe Cross, who we meet out in the desert one night watching YouTube videos about how to convince your wife to have a baby. He's interrupted by cops from the neighboring town, who demand he put on a mask since he's technically crossed the border.

    It is May 2020, and everyone is a little on edge. Joe, frustrated by the hysterical commitment to mandates from nowhere, finds himself the unofficial spokesperson for the right to go unmasked. He pits himself against the slick local mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), who is... Read More
