Industry Veterans Launch Next-Gen Production Studio Merging Film, Animation, and Gaming

In a significant development for the entertainment industry, industry veterans Ted Gagliano and Jason Chen have launched a new production studio called Desert Eclipse. The studio aims to merge film, animation, and gaming, offering a next-generation approach to content creation.

Separately, IMDb has made a notable move to enhance the recognition of entertainment industry professionals. The platform has added 12 new credit categories, including intimacy coordination, choreography, craft services, puppetry, and voice actor dubbing. These new categories were previously grouped under the "additional crew" section, but now have dedicated recognition.

Additionally, IMDb now accepts credits for dubbing foreign-language versions of movies and TV shows, creating new opportunities for these professionals to showcase their work globally. These changes were developed in consultation with leading industry organizations and are part of IMDb's ongoing efforts to ensure every profession involved in making entertainment content receives equal recognition.
