Executive Producer David Perry and his colleagues from commercial production and post company Bella are proudly announcing the start of their representation agreement with Maureen “Mo” Butler, the founder of Chicago-based Mo Butler Reps. Butler now represents Bella’s talents throughout the U.S. Midwest.
Recently launched as a stand-alone company after seven prolific years of development under the auspices of Fivestone Studios, Bella now serves as the exclusive home for highly accomplished and multitalented directors Anthony Pellino, Jeremy Liebovitch, and Robert Adamo. Bella’s roster editors Brandon Roten, Christian Whittemore, Ken Conrad, and Tim Moore also expand Bella’s capabilities exponentially.

For Perry, the U.S. Midwest market represents a hotbed of innovative creative development, where he feels Bella’s offerings are made-to-fit. “We are fiercely committed to building a culture of honor,” he began. “This looks like investing in and empowering our people, ensuring that our talents are protected and valued, and locking arms with our partners and doing whatever it takes to solve challenges together.”
Perry continued, “Mo Butler absolutely brings this commitment and bold outlook to life in a contagious way. She shares our passion for building uncommon partnerships with clients, and she has built her career earning the trust and reputation for delivering great creative solutions.”
“Bella’s superpower is the genius and expertise of its team who have built the full-service multimedia studio Fivestone,” said Butler. “David’s expertise for great storytelling, production, post-production and VFX will enable him to offer agencies and clients full-service solutions with accomplished directors, post-production, and finishing.”
Butler also addressed the parties’ deeply held, unifying perspectives: “David and I share similar philosophies which include an honest and thoughtful dynamic,” she added. “Being good listeners, we can give our clients the attention they require, while simultaneously nurturing our roster of amazing talents.”

Union’s Jono Griffith Brings Fans, Animal Kingdom, and a Giant Together For “Magic Sunday”
Never before have humans, animals, and other creatures so seamlessly integrated and so fondly interacted in the shared experience of Sunday football. YouTube TV's new spot, “Magic Sunday,” is exactly as advertised: a fantastic blend of humor, whimsy, and sports fandom. Originated at the YouTube Creative Studio, directed by Matthijs van Heijningen of MJZ, with VFX by The Mill, and edited by Union’s Jono Griffith, the project succeeds in part because of the team’s attention to detail (like the ram fluffing the couch cushions and the jaguar eyeing the cardinal), which playfully captures the excitement of NFL Sunday Ticket. “This one was a treat of a job,” says Griffith. “The editing involved making sure there was space and time for the animation to communicate at its best whilst deciding what would be most charming. Movie magic is a lot of fun, and it was a team effort with the guiding eye of my friend Matthijs and the experience of The Mill; the script from YouTube Creative Studio was smart and simple and had a big smile all over it, and although it was very ambitious, everyone involved aimed for the top shelf and we got it there…with the smile still intact.” The choice of “Sunday Morning” by the Velvet Underground adds a perfect touch to the light-hearted tone of the spot.
