Back in March of 2020, while we were finishing the final mix session of our HBO MAX ‘Originals’ mnemonic, the media began to ominously report on toilet paper, bats, disinfectants and… well… things got weird for awhile.

Typically we like to share company news often, but nothing about the last two years has been typical. The truth is, we’ve had our heads down, working on amazing projects and hadn’t realized that Kill 2 Birds updates had been few and far between. We apologize for that.

With that in mind, we’ve assembled the best of the best for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy the last two years of our work!

HBO MAX / NO SUDDEN MOVE

“WE NEED A KILLER GRAPHIC TEASE FOR SODERBERGH’S NEW FILM. LOTS OF STARS, SET IN THE 50’S, CAR CULTURE, JAZZ... JUST MAKE IT REALLY COOL.” (THOSE WEREN’T THE EXACT WORDS USED IN THE BRIEF, IT WAS THE BRIEF — AND WE WERE ALL IN). THANK YOU HBO MAX!
