Open Road’s branding and design division, PopClutch, last week rolled out a new hyper-energized main title sequence for HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, now in its 21st season.
With music performed by punk-pop band Green Day, the edgy motion graphics illustrate the types of thorny issues that the weekly news commentary show takes on.
Fun fact: Sharre Jacoby, who joined Open Road from Known to launch PopClutch, has worked on every iteration of Real Time’s main titles since the show launched in 2003.
"In Netflix’s new movie, Skater Girl, Perna (Rachel Saanchita Gupta) fights against all odds to follow her dreams of becoming a skater even though she lives in a remote village in Rajasthan, India, where gender roles are strictly defined.
Perna gets a boost when London-based advertising executive Jessica (Amy Maghera) arrives in the village to learn more about her late father. Jessica is more than willing to help the local kids learn more about skate-boarding, even getting them skateboards, after they learn about the sport from one of Jessica’s good friends who skates into town to visit her.
Even though obstacles are all around them, Jessica becomes dead set on building the kids a skatepark while Perna works toward competing in the National Skateboarding Championships.
Skater Girl is written, directed and produced by Manjari Makijany. Besides Gupta and Maghera, the film also stars Shafin Patel and Jonathan Readwin with a special appearance by Waheeda Rehman. It’s produced by Emmanuel Pappas and co-written and produced by Vinati Makijany.
Skater Girl debuts globally on Netflix on June 11"
