Podcast appearances and mentions of Sev Ohanian

What happens when you combine the brilliant mind of Ryan Coogler and a bunch of blood-thirsty vampires? You get SINNERS, one of the most original and entertaining films of the year. A theatrical feat at the box office, it's grossed over 285 million dollars since its April 16th release. It was my absolute pleasure to talk to producer Sev Ohanian about how this monster movie gem came to fruition. Sev is a homie and we go way back to our baby producer days, so it is really special for me to reconnect with him after so many years. Our meet cute story is also one for the books! Sev is Armenian-American screenwriter, producer, and founder of Proximity Media alongside Ryan and Zinzi Coogler. He co-wrote and produced (alongside his wife and producing partner Natalie Qasabian who was on the podcast back in 2019!), SEARCHING, released by Sony Screen Gems in 2018. The film grossed $75 million worldwide and sparked the sequel, MISSING. Ohanian also co-wrote and produced RUN for Lionsgate, which became Hulu's most-watched film upon its premiere. During our time together, we talked about his first foray into filmmaking - an $800 micro-budget film shot on his dad's home video camera, how his working relationship with Coogler came to be, and the trials and tribulations of shooting on location in the swamps of Louisiana. xx cg

How did it happen that after decades of being confined to the margins of cinema, this grand myth of Wakanda was weaved out of the history and culture of the “most broken people?” To conclude the story of the making of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ta-Nehisi Coates returns to the beginning of the journey with producer Nate Moore, and reflects on the ancestor who made it all possible with artist Simone Ledward Boseman and director and co-writer Ryan Coogler.

Sev Ohanian, a fellow Armenian, has become one of the most successful and prolific producers of the past decade. From his days in high school and at USC, to becoming one of the first Armenian Academy members with his producing partner and wife, Natalie Qasabian, to "Creed III," we speak about how he broke into the industry, obstacles faced and accolades earned as a producer, and his passion to constantly push himself to tell new stories within the medium of filmmaking.

White supremacy, the system which enabled the descendants of Europe to steal an outsized portion of this world's labor and land, has always been tied to a specious notion of beauty. What does it mean that Wakanda and Talokan give us a beauty created not to justify enslavement but to celebrate freedom? Ta-Nehisi Coates dives deep into the beautiful and complex portrayals of Shuri, Namor, Wakanda, and Talokan with actors Letitia Wright and Tenoch Huerta and cultural consultant Dr. Gerardo Aldana.

Every film is a machine, a complex device made of people with a myriad of jobs and responsibilities. Ta-Nehisi Coates breaks apart the machinery of Wakanda Forever, zooming into the creative processes of actor Dominique Thorne (Riri Williams), costume designer Ruth E. Carter, and composer Ludwig Göransson.

The story of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever emerged out of the very real death of Chadwick Boseman, the actor who played T'Challa. But there was an earlier version of the script, a different story written when no one involved in the movie knew that Chadwick was gravely ill. Ta-Nehisi Coates is joined by director and co-writer Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole to discuss the original screenplay, the changes they needed to make, what makes a Black Panther film, and their special collaboration on both movies. Ta-Nehisi also talks to producers Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, and Nate Moore, Executive of Production and Development, to learn about the 22-year journey to bring Black Panther to the screen and what excites them about Namor, comic book storytelling, and making movies.

Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, Huckleberry Hound and a Universe of Hanna-Barbara Characters Welcome You to Jellystone! Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy, alongside an epic ensemble cast of Hanna-Barbera characters, are returning to television screens in the all-new animated comedy, Jellystone! The Max Original series helmed by acclaimed showrunner and executive producer C.H. Greenblatt and produced by Warner Bros.

"The massive amount of both classic and not-so-classic characters we were able to use from the Hanna-Barbera library is what really makes the Jellystone! universe special. Rather than recreate the feeling of cartoons of the past, we wanted to have silly, weird fun with these characters and expand their personalities to give them more depth. Chances are if there's a character you love, you'll see them somewhere in this world eventually. We hope longtime fans appreciate our take on this world, and we're excited that parents get to introduce and enjoy their favorite Hanna-Barbera characters with their kids."Greenblatt serves as showrunner and executive producer, and voices several characters including Doggie Daddy, Boo Boo, Peter Potamus, and Benny.

When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.'s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you've never seen them before.  It's Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron's bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way. - Warner Bros. Pictures

We've caught a mean case of RUN-fever

They say you can never escape a mother’s love... but for Chloe, that’s not a comfort — it’s a threat. Hulu’s latest high profile film project RUN opens the door on something unnatural, even sinister about the relationship between Chloe (newcomer Kiera Allen) and her mom, Diane (Sarah Paulson). Diane has raised her daughter in total isolation, controlling every move she’s made since birth, and there are secrets that Chloe's only beginning to grasp. From the visionary writers, producers and director of the breakout film Searching, comes a suspense thriller that shows that when mom gets a little too close, you need to RUN. Director Aneesh Chaganty and Producer Sev Ohanian join us for a conversation on the challenges of pulling together a high wire psychological thriller and working with a promising young actor, Kiera Allen on a brilliant film anchored by one of the finest actors working today, Sarah Paulson. Premiering on HULU November 20

Armen Karaoghlanian founded the Armenian Film Society with his wife Mary in 2015 . Their mission is to shine a spotlight on Armenian filmmakers. Armenian Film Society’s ongoing goal is to bridge the gap with the Armenian community with film screenings, discussions, and lectures. Armenian Film Society holds monthly screenings, events, and discussions in the Glendale area, and welcomes hundreds of regular attendees with audiences that represent all ages and a cross-section of the diverse population of Los Angeles. In the past, Armenian Film Society has welcomed a number of notable guests, including Mardik Martin, Sev Ohanian, Eric Nazarian, Roger Kupelian, Ken Davitian, and more.

Natalie Qasabian is an impressive person. She is the producer of SEARCHING, starring John Cho, a movie she made for $1m that made $75m worldwide in the box office. A very hard thing to do these days given how people don't watch movies in theaters anymore.   She is an Armenian-American hustler. She is a go getter. She is the only producer I know who was also getting her MBA from Pepperdine University while also in production. So, yes, she’s a badass in it’s truest form.   Currently she's producing "RUN starring Sarah Paulson for Lionsgate alongside her SEARCHING producer Sev Ohanian and director Aneesh Chaganty.    In this week’s chat, we dive deep into getting her start with the Duplass Brothers, chasing the high of making your own projects, and the wrap blues every producer feels when a project ends.

“The only person that you need to give you a chance is yourself” – Sev Ohanian Sev Ohanian’s latest film is Searching, a modern thriller about a father searching for his missing daughter. The entire movie takes place on technology devices. It was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and started playing in theater’s everywhere August 31, 2018. Thirteen years ago, his first film had one screening location: the TV in his teacher’s AP Environmental Science class at Glendale’s Hoover High School. His reward was an ‘A’ in the class, and the start of a lifelong passion for filmmaking. Since then, Ohanian has gone on to write, direct, and produce several films. During the episode, he discusses the diversity on display on both sides of the camera, the basics of good storytelling, the shifting entertainment industry, and the thrilling story of how his team made Searching. Oh, and he really loves Glendale. “This City has always held a really special place in my heart,” Ohanian told the Glendale Tech on Tap podcast. Ohanian is on Twitter @SevOhanian. Searching is on Twitter @SearchingMovie. Editor’s note: This host saw the film in Glendale a few short days after this interview.
