Jonah Tulis

In addition to "Serling", Jonah is also currently in post-production on "Silk Road", a covert documentary featuring exclusive access to one of the 21st century’s most notorious criminals, the recently pardoned Ross Ulbricht, founder of the infamous dark web site. The film is being produced by DLP Media, Five All in the Fifth & Submarine. Previously, Jonah directed "GameStop: Rise of the Players," which was produced alongside Submarine for NEON. The doc hit theaters nationwide on January 28th, the one-year anniversary of the now famous “GameStop Short Squeeze” that rocked Wall Street. Jonah also directed "Console Wars," the first original documentary from Legendary Pictures and Paramount+, which takes viewers back to 1990 when Sega, a fledgling arcade company, assembled a team of underdogs to take on the greatest video game company in the world, Nintendo. The film was produced alongside Legendary, CBS TV Studios, Point Grey Pictures and Scott Rudin. Jonah was also an Executive Producer on the planned scripted series adaptation of "Console Wars" at Paramount+.

"Serling" is an immersive first-person journey exploring the life and legacy of one of television’s most visionary storytellers, Rod Serling. Told almost entirely in Serling’s own words, drawn from never-before-heard recordings and personal dictations, the film captures the man behind "The Twilight Zone" in all his complexity. The film weaves archival material with atmospheric recreations that echo the eerie visual language Serling made iconic. As his unmistakable voice guides us, Serling emerges not only as a master of storytelling, but as a man grappling with the trauma of war, the moral compromises of fame, and the hope that America might one day live up to its own ideals.

Serling

An intimate portrait of Rod Serling told through never-before-heard recordings, uncovering how trauma, censorship, and conviction gave rise to "The Twilight Zone" and the man who turned television into a battleground of conscience and imagination.

Three sisters from rural New Hampshire formed a band in the late 1960s, but not by choice. Betty, Dorothy, and Helen Wiggin had no interest in playing music. In fact, they had no musical abilities at all. It was their father Austin, inspired by a prophecy, who became convinced that his girls would become rock stars. He pulled his daughters out of school, bought them a pair of cheap guitars and a drum kit, dubbed them The Shaggs, and basically commanded them to make music. In 1969, he brought the girls to a storefront recording studio outside of Boston, and the result is one of the most head-scratching and polarizing albums ever committed to vinyl. "We Are The Shaggs" is their story.

We Are The Shaggs

"We Are The Shaggs" is a music documentary about The Shaggs, an all-girl band that created some of the most provocative and polarizing music in rock-and-roll history.

Phoenix Jones: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Superhero

Authentic storytelling that captivates, surprises, and excites!

Divorce Resort

Butch Meily has been separated from his wife for 8 years. They live in the Philippines, where divorce remains illegal. Mired in legal and emotional limbo, an unlikely loophole presents a way out.

The U.S. territory of Guam offers a “7 Day Residency Divorce.” One spouse could spend a week on Guam, establish residence, and get an internationally recognized divorce. Their lawyer offered to book the hotel.

Our story finds the 72-year-old Butch alone on an island to end his marriage. He's convinced the divorce will change his life; happiness at the stroke of a pen. But vacation can be uncomfortably meditative. As each day brings Butch closer to signing, he's forced to confront his loss.

Married in a country where divorce is prohibited, a 72-year-old lovelorn man finds a legal loophole requiring a seven-day stay on the island of Guam. As he wanders through this tropical limbo, he reckons with his loss and newfound freedom.

I Got My Brother

Directed by Victor Gabriel for Academy Award winning Breakwater Studios in partnership with the Schultz Family Foundation "I Got My Brother" is a darkly comedic exploration of the foster care to prison pipeline through the eyes of formerly incarcerated Jarrett Harper and his younger brother Baylon.

Through a conversation-style interview, the brothers reminisce about their time spent in a Los Angeles foster home where they were routinely abused and neglected. Though the candid memories are rooted in unimaginable trauma, they are laced with wry humor and an unbreakable brotherly bond that is put to the test when 17-year-old Jarret is sentenced to life in prison for murdering their abuser.

Two brothers reflect on their candid and often humorous memories of surviving the foster care system and prison, realizing along the way that their path to healing has always been each other.

How To Catch A Butterfly

In 2021, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long kills 8 Asian women in massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia as a way to suppress his uncontrollable sexual desire. Dutch-Japanese filmmaker Kiriko Mechanicus writes letters to the young murderer to find out what his killings have to do with her sexual life.

There are fewer fluent speakers of Díne Bizaad (the Navajo Language) on the Navajo Nation. Despite this, there is hope for the future, thanks to a local radio station that broadcasts in Navajo to thousands of listeners all the time. Notably, the director embarks on a journey that highlights the resilience of the language, encountering revitalization efforts being done on the Navajo Nation and imbuing hope for future generations to protect their language.

The Navajo language is spoken less often across generations. However, its resilience continues through a small Navajo radio station, the director's family members, and the people of the Navajo Nation.

In a quiet Toronto apartment, an immigrant mother finds comfort in her Alexa—weather updates, love songs, and the time back home become a lifeline to the Philippines, reminding her of the family she left behind. In the Morning Sun is a gentle portrait of aging, migration, and memory. Inspired by the filmmaker’s desire to preserve the warmth of his parents, the film reflects on the quiet sacrifices of immigration and the rituals that keep love alive across distance. As his nieces and nephews begin to face their own life choices, their reflections echo the journey his mother once made, revealing the duality of her experience—the little girl she was, and the woman she became to survive.

Jimmy wakes up in a bathtub filled with his own blood, his wrists slit and his life rapidly nearly completion. This would be a textbook failed suicide attempt, only…Jimmy didn’t do it? At least, he’s pretty sure he didn’t. Alongside Margot, the 911 operator who took his call that faithful night, Jimmy begins an amateur-hour murder investigation, desperate to prove that this is a whodunnit and not a hedunnit. The list of suspects who might be happy if Jimmy wasn’t around anymore is fairly long—angry ex-girlfriends, frustrated siblings, exasperated psychiatrists, and resentful stepfathers. But the prime suspect is Jimmy himself.

Daughters of the Forest: Mycelium Chronicles

Inspired by the Emmy-Award winning short documentary of the same name (Netflix, 2023), "The Dads" chronicles fathers of trans and nonbinary children as they are forced to choose between country and family when a new right-wing administration and conservative Supreme Court take hold in the United States. Filmed over the course of a year spanning retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota, protests, family milestones, a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision, and the collapse of gender-affirming care for youth, "The Dads" captures this national reckoning with remarkable intimacy through verite footage and interviews with the film’s main protagonists. This is fatherhood as an act of radical resistance.

As anti-trans legislation and hostility escalate in the United States, a group of dads, building a nascent movement to support their trans and gender expansive kids, are forced to make an impossible choice: stay and fight or flee the country.

Birth is For P*ssies

Having quit her corporate job to become a birth doula, chronic people-pleaser Maya quickly discovers that birthwork is nothing like she expected. Her first day is full of surprises: she sees her first cervix, lands her first official client—provided she keeps their precarious secret—and nervously agrees to cover a birth in the Bronx for a fellow doula. After a rocky start, she helps single mother Celeste through a long night of labor, learning to let go of perfection and embrace the chaotic, beautiful mess of supporting birth. Just as the sun rises and she finally heads home, her phone rings: her next client is in labor.

A rookie doula is thrust into her first birth with a mother she’s never met. After a rocky start, she quickly learns supporting women through labor is messier, funnier, and more profound than any training could have prepared her for.

Are We Still Married?

After a bat bites Jack (30s), transforming him into a vampire, he comes to the front door of his home, asking his wife Laura (30s) to let him back inside. Per vampire rules, Jack now needs an invitation to reenter his home, an invitation that Laura withholds. This man looks and sounds like her husband, he makes her laugh and cry like her husband, and still she doesn't know if she can trust him.  As the two reconcile and reconnect over the course of the night (Jack always outside the house, Laura always inside), Laura wrestles with the impossible choice, and the stakes ratchet as the clock ticks and daybreak draws near.

Over the course of one night Laura must decide if she will invite her husband Jack, who has recently been turned into a vampire, back into their house.

"Bruce Springsteen + Cocteau Twins = Junerise" - KUTX

Junerise is the heartland dream pop project of Austin-based, Utah-transplant singer-songwriter June Bennion, (They/Them).

Looking ever skyward, June channels influences from the grounding story-centric songwriting chops of James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen to the ethereal gradient-scapes of The Cocteau Twins and Brian Eno with a dash of The Cure's dance-forward sensibilities. Their songwriting comes from a well of lived experiences growing up as a closeted queer person in the god-fearing Mormon mountain states.

June tackles feelings of isolation, wonder, and perseverance against the odds set against a sunset sky, quickly fading out of view as each song flows from scene to scene as each story is told. Junerise is a long incubated project which at times is downright danceable while also reveling in the beautiful transience of each passing moment.

Spencer Thomas

Booking Agent - US, Booking Agent - UK/Europe

Atlanta-based artist Spencer Thomas returns with Cynical Vision, his third and most incisive album yet, out March 20, 2026. Wry and sardonic, the record balances humor and existential dread, blending retro synths, vintage drum machines, and fuzzed-out guitars into an intoxicating mix of analog and electronic sounds. Nods to Randy Newman, Lou Reed, Warren Zevon, and Tom Petty shine through as Thomas holds a mirror to modern life, delivering a whip-smart meditation on the absurdity and beauty of living and loving in the 21st century.

“In a lot of ways, it felt impossible for me to not write about this stuff,” Thomas says. “I leaned into what felt interesting and current and funny, and tried to make something visceral and honest.”

After releasing his 2019 solo debut Hangin’ Tough, he moved to Athens, GA in 2020 and joined indie rock band Futurebirds as their keyboardist. “It was a fantastic opportunity,” he explains, “but it kept me away from home and from my own music.” His 2024 sophomore album The Joke of Life earned rave reviews, and in 2025 he stepped away from Futurebirds to devote himself fully to creating Cynical Vision.

Jasmine Jethwa

Jasmine makes swaying, folk-tinged acoustic pop songs with a full voice that teems with rich emotion. Her sonic palette makes sense when she describes the music she was most interested in growing up. “The earliest memories I have are of driving down to see my grandparents, and we listened to different music in the car on my dad’s iPod,” she recalls, “There’d be David Gray, Tracy Chapman, Dido, Gipsy Kings, The Eagles – old songs, classic albums. And I feel like they went into my psyche. I’m obsessed with any kind of acoustic, well-played guitar.”

She also references her love of R&B and a current new love with Fontaines DC (“the first time I heard them they grabbed my heart; if my music does what they and other artists do for me and moves them to feel something, I’d be happy”). There is also mention of the emotional resonance of watching Bollywood films with her Gujarati grandmother back when she was a kid: “In terms of vocals, I do think that’s made a bit of an impact,” she says of those Hindi songs she internalised.

Saint Avangeline is an Atlanta-based independent artist, merging ethereal sounds with raw, unfiltered vocals, crafting a striking contrast that mirrors the depths of human emotion. Deeply rooted in her journey with mental health, domestic abuse, & growing up queer, her songs offer an honest exploration of inner turmoil, rage, hope, & resilience.
Growing up with her head in a sketchbook & performing in various orchestras, and jazz bands, combined with her unique sound-to-color synesthesia known as Chromesthesia, Avangeline focuses on writing and creating from a color palette. Music is like painting, every sound is a different texture, color, and form. She also often listens to music in languages she doesn't understand, are made up or distorted, or that contain no words at all. She found that she could focus more deeply on the emotion embedded within the sound and she would often memorize entire orchestral scores and video game soundtracks as a child.
Focusing on painting an image not only through words but through the very fiber of sound, her music strives to transcend the barriers of language and strike hearts in the way hers was.

Brand Partnership, Gear Endorsement, Booking Agent - Worldwide, Sync/Music Supervisors

Chuck Prophet’s streak of more than a dozen critically acclaimed solo records stretches all the way back to 1990, when the California native first shifted focus from his tenure with pioneering neo-psych band Green on Red to working under his own name.

Rolling Stone dubbed him a “streetwise city kid with an eye for the country,” while Uncut proclaimed him a “renaissance-rocker,” and NPR declared that “no one can turn tales from the outer limits into catchy songs quite like Prophet does.”

Elijah Johnston

Atlanta based musician, Elijah Johnston, will release a brand new album, Stupid Soul, via Strolling Bones Records on June 20, 2025.

Stupid Soul is either Elijah Johnston’s 4th record or his 7th, depending on who you ask, but possibly the first you’ve heard. The logical next step in a career of slow burns, Stupid Soul is neither a record of morose self-reflection nor a frenetic series of genre experiments, settling into a comfortable steady pace: a record built to fit like a glove.

Performed by a small team including Johnston’s brother, manager, and long-time producer, the record is full of small wonders and live band energy, the sound of four close-knit collaborators in pursuit of something timeless. 12-string acoustic guitars, vintage synthesizers, and a relentless belief in the guitar solo round out Johnston’s usual pop rock palate, and the team manages to make a coherent picture out of a mood board that takes just as many cues from Brian Wilson as it does from The Legend of Zelda.

Elijah began his career in the legendary musical community of Athens, and he was the winner of that city’s 2022 Vic Chesnutt Songwriter of the Year Award. Since then, he has toured nationally and shared stages with acts like Noah Gundersen, Susto, and Elf Power, establishing a name as a recognized songwriter with a potent live show to match.


The Tullamarines

The amalgamation of four distinct voices from Adelaide, The Tullamarines tell their stories through a shared perspective that feels intimate, honest, and quietly uplifting. Josh, Angus, Benny and Lucinda met on the local gig circuit, quickly bonding over a mutual love of songwriting and collaboration. From those early connections, they’ve crafted a sound that reflects each member’s individual sensibilities - a style they affectionately call cosy-pop.

Their songs move through life’s highs and lows with the warmth of an old friend, inviting listeners into their living room, putting the kettle on, and sitting with whatever feeling the day brings. That sense of closeness runs through both their recorded work and their live shows.

Having appeared on festival line-ups including Beyond The Valley, Laneway Festival, Spin Off Festival and New Year’s Eve on the Hill, and toured extensively alongside artists such as Old Mervs, The Preatures, Ball Park Music and Alex Lahey, The Tullamarines continue to build a reputation for heartfelt songwriting and deeply human performances.

A woman inherits her childhood home, seeking solace from a chaotic city life marked by addiction and debt. Unbeknownst to her, a psychotic neighbor becomes disturbingly obsessed with her due to a haunting resemblance to the neighbor’s deceased mother. As the fixation turns violent, her friends begin disappearing one by one, drawing her into a perverted, blood-soaked Christmas nightmare she may not survive.

She created Two Sentence Horror (ran for three seasons on the CW), and was writer/supervising producer on Amazon’s Expats.

A grieving Chinese and Vietnamese American family move to an isolated house in a new town. Eight-year-old Gracie, silent since the death of her beloved father, begins to interact with a dark presence in the woods behind their new home. Her mother, Emily, struggles to hide her suffocating grief, cutting her off from Gracie and her mother-in-law, Nai Nai. When Gracie is taken by the dark presence, her family has to confront the ghosts of the past and their shared trauma to find her. The story intertwines historical events from the 1885 massacre of Chinese coal miners with present-day supernatural elements, culminating in a poignant exploration of loss, memory, and reconciliation with the past.

Wim Tapley & The Cannons

Based in Athens, Georgia, Wim Tapley came of age playing venues in Washington D.C. and its sprawling suburbs. There, he honed his voice with the passion of a born troubadour, drawing in a diverse fanbase with his easy showmanship and distinct style.

Since 2021, Athens has been home to Wim and his live band The Cannons. His first week in town, Wim made his way onto a local bill, etching a name for himself as a fresh and favorite hometown voice. He is ardently received by his ever-growing following at legendary regional venues like the 9:30 Club, Eddie’s Attic, and the Georgia Theatre—the latter of which he’s sold out more than once—and on tours across the country.

Firmly rooted in Americana and dashed with glamorous pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and a sprinkling of riotous horns, Wim’s arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless, as fevered as it is raucous fun.

A sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a fresh new take on folk-pop while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton.

Witch, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, JJUUJJUU, Mdou Moctar, Wand and Kikagaku Moyo. The quartet recently returned with Precious Dream (January 19, 2024 via Mothland & Exag’ Records), a sprawling collection of songs written in isolation and brought together alongside visionary producer Graham Walsh (METZ, Preoccupations, Holy Fuck, !!!), offering an exhilarating new breath into the world of post-punk and modern psychedelia, a listening experience that is equally cathartic and introspective.
