    DALLAS -- (SPW) --

    The 50th anniversary of Earth Day fell during an historic year, with the majority of would-be attendees under ‘stay at home’ COVID-19 restrictions. Among the largest environmental film festivals in the US, EarthxFilm, nonetheless celebrated the event by holding their annual Earthx2020 conference and festivals online from April 22 (officially Earth Day) through April 27. 

    EarthXR, the immersive programming division of EarthxFilm, showcased groundbreaking 360-degree films and free-to-watch panels packed with experts on all things VR, AR and AI. Attendees and speakers included the co-founders of “Wild Immersion, endorsed by Jane Goodall” and VR directors Adrien and Gregoire Moisson; Kris Severson, Head of Global Content, HTC Vive/VR for Impact; Sarah Steele, Global Content Lead, Google/YouTube; Lucas Gath, co-director of Ghost Fleet VR; Ian Urbina, NYT bestselling author of “The Outlaw Ocean”; Damien Mounder, Founder International Anti-Poaching Foundation/Subject of NatGeo’s Akashinga: The Brave Ones, Ulrico Grech-Cumbo, Director of the Ellen Fund’s Gorillapallooza VR, and many more. 

    In this time of crisis, as event marketing teams navigate hosting their previously-scheduled programming virtually, EarthXR’s live stream format where visitors could pick and choose their “channels” via URL, according to a master schedule, gave attendees a feeling of variety second only to wandering between conference rooms and stages that they might have experienced at the live event in Dallas.

    Leading West Coast Rep Firm Unveils One of Ones, Expands Team and Talent Offering

    Monday, December 8, 2025
    One of Ones - Ezra Burke & Sylvia Brach

    With decades of experience working across multiple facets of filmmaking and talent management, Ezra Burke has arrived at one universal truth: it’s human creativity that makes a film unforgettable. And as a pledge to the entire community of filmmakers everywhere, West Coast Rep firm Content Chemics becomes One of Ones. The re-brand for the long-standing firm has been a year in the making, sparked by the addition of Sales Rep Sylvia Brach. “When Sylvia and I first met we spent hours sharing stories of our journeys and what inspired us. Our paths into advertising were very different; mine via the feature film world while Sylvia’s came via the agency side. But what we shared was a passionate commitment to working with people who bring out the best in us.” Energized by this commitment to the creative community, One of Ones have expanded their roster with the addition of four new companies over the past year. Earlier this year Ezra and team re-united with SKUNK founder Matt Factor and director John Hillcoat, followed by the signing of Field Day Sound, the 2025 AdAge Music & Sound Company of the Year. Premiere VFX studio Selected Works joined the roster over the summer. And most recently Ezra and Sylvia have brought on Group Thrpy, the production company founded by Shelby Ross and director Harrison Boyce. www.oneofones.com Read More
