Gaining insight into an area of Hollywood few people know much about, Chief Justice Michael Stailey sits down with Russell Scott one the founding partners of California-based JetSet Studios. While you may not recognize the name of the company, you are almost certainly familiar with their work. JetSet takes the essence of a film in production and creates its original online presence in the form of official websites, viral games, and other media rich content, and their most recent projects wound up being two of the summer's biggest comedies KNOCKED UP and SUPERBAD. But the best part of this interview are Russell's stories about working with Wes Craven, taking on KING KONG, spending time in the BARNYARD, furthering George Romero's legacy with a site dedicated to DAWN OF THE DEAD, and much more. And if you'd like to relive fond memories of your childhood, check out their labor of love RetroLand. It's just another dose of quality Verdict infotainment. Enjoy!
