A #PepsiCan or #ConverseShoes don't just accidentally appear in a scene in a #FeatureFilm. #D2QMedia works too damn hard to make sure an A-List #Actor like #WillSmith in #iRobot mentions our clients #Brand by name 'cos that line was written into the #Script at conception! #Powerful 🙌🏿😎🙏🏿 Namaste

#Interactive: How To Run A $100 Billion Dominant Technology Powerhouse #Yahoo Into The Ground;
In the '90s Yahoo was one of the most interactive websites in the world, second only to #AOL. The web portal browser American multinational technology company founded by #JerryYang and #DavidFilo is the greatest example of #SnrVp's famous adage "Those who fail to stay with current trends...get left behind! #WhatYouFailToKnowWillHurtYou".
A series of misteps have led to Yahoos worldwide diminished influence and value to the point that it is hard to believe at it's peak Yahoo was valued at $100B.
The dotcom burst of 2000 saw their shares tumble from $118.75 to an all time low of $4.06. Yet in 2008, Yahoo rejected a $44.6B buyout by MicroSoft claiming the amount "substantially undervalues" Yahoo.
The publicly traded company went through four CEOs in six years, and in 2012, it's new CEO and former #Google executive #MarissaMayer tried playing "Catch Up" with "Now Trending" - #YahooMobile #Flicker #Tumblr #RockMelt, upgraded #YahooMail and a partnership with #Yelp, et al, but failed. The company declared a $4.35B lost net income for 2015.
Just last week - July 25, 2016, Yahoo was acquired by #Verizon for one-tenth of that initial MicroSoft offer - yes, for $4.8B minus Yahoos 20% stake in #AliBaba. Even though the most visited website on the internet, Yahoo over and over, failed to reinvent itself to keep up with current trends while its competition #Google was staying ahead of, and in certain cases, creating the next 'Now Trending'.

#Film: #PrivateScreening - #BadMoms. When we at #D2QMedia heard the writers behind #TheHangover #JonLucas and #ScottMoore not only wrote the script but also directed this #Comedy too, we knew we were in for a treat. We just didn't foresee #LOL treat from start to finish. Best #Indie comedy we've seen this year bar none!
The plot of good mom #MilaKunis gone Bad Mom, recruits two odd sidekicks #KristenBell and #KathrynHahn and goes up against the perfect #PTA mom #ChristinaApplegate and her sidekicks #JadaPinkettSmith and #AnnieMumolo in an all out war is priceless funny! The movie ends, you are all laughed out, and just as the credits start to roll, out comes a warm heartfelt, fuzzy stomach segment that will leave you all elated about the joys of... (*cliffhanger*).
Guess you will just have to go see the movie to find out what that elated feeling was all about.
With Producers like #BillBlock of #District9 et al and #SuzanneTodd of #AustinPowers trilogy et al behind this feature, we are not surprised by the exceptionally high quality of cast, crew, cinematography (shot on an #ARRI) and more.
Very funny yet with a very relateable message at the end. This #STXEntertainment film opens nationwide on July 29th, 2016. #DMW #DefinitelyMustWatch.
#Film: #PrivateScreening #Drama - #Equity 2016 film. This was a conflicting experience for us at #D2QMedia since we were totallly entertained as fans of good 'pop corn' movies but as understudies of great movies, this "as deep as a puddle" attempt at a post 2007 market crash take on the 80s cult classic drama #WallStreet, with #AnnaGunn as the female version of #GordonGekko but with a bit more integrity left us a little disappointed. Screen writer #AmyFox in her attempt to sensationalize the varied plots failed to develop the characters well enough for us the audience to know them and root for them.
Even with a surprisingly strong performance from #BreakingBads Anna Gunn, and Director #MeeraMenon, a #USC alum on her second feature directorial stint capturing some noteworthy moments, the film left us feeling it had the potential to be great but fell short.
On a positive note, Equity was written, directed, produced and financed entirely by women who wanted to tell a refreshing Wall Street story from womens point of view, so we commend you trailblazers for setting the bar at an exceptional level for all women filmmakers to follow and look forward to reviewing more from you all.
We still think the film is a #DMW #DefinitelyMustWatch and we plan on seeing it again when this #SonyPicturesClassic #indie opens nationwide in theaters on July 29th, 2016.
#Film: #Documentary - The art of documentary film making is an arduous task - how do you stay authentic and organic, yet be entertaining enough to not lose your audience? Very few #Directors have been able to attain such mastery in storytelling; #MichaelMoore in #Farenheit9/11, Leslee Udwin in #IndiasDaughter, #CarlosAgullo in #PlotForPeace. We at #D2QMedia proudly add to this list -- #AcademyAward winning #Documentarian, #AlexGibney with his latest #CyberWarfare doumentary #thriller, #ZeroDays.
"Zero Days covers the phenomenon surrounding the #Stuxnet computer virus" that affected nuclear plants in #Iran and was discovered in 2010...and the development of the malware software known as #OlympicGames!
Very riveting and eye opening, it reveals the reasons why President #Obama does not think highly of President #Netanyahu of #Isreal. #DMW #DefinitelyMustWatch. Opens on Friday, July 8th, 2016 at #Landmark's #Nuart Theatre in West #LosAngeles. #indie
