The first project from The Platform Group’s new creative studio ‘El Oso’ will debut at this year’s Festival de Cannes. “Jewels”, directed and produced by Bobby Bosko Grubic and starring Tehmina Sunny and Julia Fae will be screened at the Palais des Festivals on May 16th at 3 pm, as a part of this year's Cannes Short Film Corner.
“Jewels” is a modern look at relationship breakups and heartbreaks that can be as complicated as the people who live them. “It’s a study of what makes us flawed at the same time as it makes us great and what makes us human after all, is emotions” said director Bobby B. Grubic, and added, “Our partnering with Platform helped us bring this Artonix Studios project to another level and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
“Jewels” was a perfect fit for the long standing relationship between Platform and Producer Bobby Grubic. “Being able to collaborate with a long-term creative partner on a project like “Jewels” is always rewarding, and I personally enjoy being able to spend some of my time doing hands-on color work” said Todd Iorio who was also Executive Producer and Colorist on “Jewels” and is Head of Production at The Platform Group.
The Platform Group has recently expanded its post offerings with creative studio 'El Oso', which provides creative and post-production services.
The Festival de Cannes runs May 8-18, 2018.
