Lookbook and 1GLH Announce Partnership on Carpathia Feature Film and Documentary
Cannes, France, July 18, 2025 -- Lookbook Partners with 1GLH on Carpathia Feature and Documentary Projects
Newly formed Lookbook has partnered with NY-based capital group 1GLH across a variety of motion pictures. Lookbook has also finalized production and equity stakes in several high-profile projects, including the dramatic thriller Carpathia – the first feature to tell the daring story of the ship that saved the survivors of RMS Titanic – and its companion documentary feature about the deep-sea team making the first 3D mapping of the Carpathia's wreckage, from Croatia-based Pulsar Productions. The partners have begun the search for top-tier directors to helm both Carpathia projects, with anticipation of filming the documentary in June/July of 2026 and the feature in October/November 2026.
Lookbook's Strategic Direction into Non-Genre Projects
'This broader direction into non-genre film and television will mean even greater mass appeal in all markets,' said Lookbook founder Juan Pablo Reinoso. 'I'm especially thrilled about the Carpathia projects. From both the commercial tie-in value with Titanic about to celebrate its 30th Anniversary and the exciting true story of what the Captain of the Carpathia had to endure just to even get the ship there, they could not be more timely.' Reinoso also co-founded Firebook Entertainment, a global acquisitions, sales, and distribution company that specializes in genre films.
The Untold Story of Carpathia and Its Heroic Crew
'The three most frequently spoken words in the world are: God, Coca-Cola, and Titanic. Is it fair, though, to forget the Carpathia and its incredibly brave captain and crew, which saved over 700 lives from Titanic? We don't think so, and we know audiences will flock to finally see the true story of the tests the Carpathia had to endure to reach Titanic,' said Toni Kuran on behalf of Pulsar.
Lookbook's Vision for the Future of Filmmaking
'Juan has always displayed a passion for non-genre projects, so launching Lookbook and turning his attention to those kinds of projects makes perfect sense and is a logical next step,' Firebook co-founder John Moss added. 'He'll bring the same eye for top-tier projects to Lookbook that he has since we started Firebook.'
Strategic Partnerships for Talent and Global Collaborations
Lookbook has also partnered with Keli Price of Price Productions to oversee talent as well as assist in strategic global partnerships.
'I share Lookbook's filmmaker-first outlook, as well as their dedication to embracing diversity both in front of and behind the camera, and I'm excited to come on board and help provide a truly transparent strategy for every film we make and every company we partner with,' Price added.
Other Projects Picked Up by Lookbook at the Marché
Other projects picked up by Lookbook at this year's Marché include action-crime-drama Father, Where Art Thou?, starring Michael Jai White; Whirlwind, a western drama-thriller from award-winning writer-director Juan Pablo Reinoso featuring Amy Tyger (Foundation); Kismet, a sci-fi drama from award-winning director Giovanna Molina; action-thriller Civilian, from acclaimed director John J. Budion (Rockaway) starring Jack Kesy (Hellboy: The Crooked Man), with Cory Thompson and his REWIND banner; Spanish-English dance-rom-com Junior for award-winning writer-director Ben Peyser; and No Other Love, based on the acclaimed YA novel, for Katisha Shaw of DTRM. Several other projects were finalizing agreements as of this writing.
Lookbook is based in the USA, with roots throughout Europe, South & Central America, and Canada.

Cities Vs. Climate Change: Global Exhibition In Paris Inspires Action
Bold artworks by Shepard Fairey (OBEY) adorn the Hôtel de Ville façade in Paris. A free, child-friendly exhibition staged in the City Hall, Paris, on how large cities around the world are fighting back against climate change has wowed audiences since opening last month. 'From Paris to Belém: 10 years of global climate action' runs until mid-December at Hôtel de Ville. It celebrates the 2015 adoption of the Paris Agreement at COP21 in Paris, which marked a turning point in the global commitment to climate action, and flags the next COP climate conference, scheduled to be held in Belém, Brazil, in November. In Buenos Aires, the Metrobus 9 project has halved travel times and helped avoid the emission of over 70,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, highlights the exhibition, saying this is the equivalent of more than 8,000 return flights between Paris and Melbourne. In Medellín, Colombia, the creation of 'green corridors' has lowered temperatures by 4°C in certain areas and encouraged the return of biodiversity. Facts such as these are dotted throughout the exhibition, which was partly designed from a child's point of view; Copi, a cartoon mascot, guides younger ones. There are also photographic displays—including images of the Amazon by famed photographer Sebastião Salgado—and bold artwork by Shepard Fairey (OBEY); his murals adorn the Hôtel de Ville's façade. Much of the fact-finding for the exhibition was conducted by Canadian urban planning expert Brent Toderian, who was commissioned by the City of Paris and its mayor, Anne Hidalgo. Hidalgo has transformed much of Paris with bold, climate-friendly initiatives, including a focus on cycling and walking in the city. 'Mayor Hidalgo herself had the idea of a big, bold exhibition at Paris City Hall,' said Toderian. 'Her team tracked me down in September last year and invited me. We share the same big ambition to change the conversation about better city-building and climate action.' The exhibition majors on 'cities taking bolder climate action, going further and faster with fewer excuses,' said Toderian. 'Cities around the world [need] to inspire and challenge each other.' Major cities profiled, in addition to Paris, include Tokyo, Mexico City, Beijing, Los Angeles, London, Buenos Aires, and Seoul. There are also contributions from other global cities such as Barcelona, Rome, Stockholm, Helsinki, Medellin, Montreal, Brisbane, Auckland, and New Orleans. Lesser-known cities profiled include Cotonou in Benin, Africa; Hue City, Vietnam; Rabat, Morocco; and Nouakchott, Mauritania. Brent Toderian with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Actions highlighted include transforming dense and mixed-use communities around public transit; rethinking cars and providing people with more and better choices for getting around; creating new people-centric places, including transforming streets, new parks, urban greening, and integrating nature with density; and designing energy-intelligent cities. 'Paris itself is an example of the challenge,' said Toderian. 'It's a city that leads in climate action, and yet proven ideas like protected bike lanes, which we know make cities better for everyone, can still be much more controversial than they should be, even after they're built and succeeding. 'Paris is uniquely positioned to celebrate and platform bold action from cities all over the world,' said Toderian. 'Paris and Mayor Hidalgo have been the most inspiring in the world over the last 10 years, really exemplifying those key words 'further and faster. 'Not because they've been perfect but because they've been strategic, determined, and fearless.' However, added Toderian, 'if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that many cities still need to take their first steps toward more sustainable city-making. And every city needs to go much further and faster. The powers that city leaders have to decide urban densities, land-use mix, transportation, infrastructure, and much more are game-changing for addressing the climate crisis.' A key takeaway from the exhibition is the need for cities to tame cars. 'Our primary goal must be fewer and smaller cars that are driven less,' said Toderian, and electrifying the global fleet, while welcome, isn't a panacea. 'We need better cars, and electric cars are part of the solution,' argues Toderian. 'But a better energy source for the same number of cars, or even more and bigger cars, won't get us where we need to be, and can induce more driving and higher emissions because we think those cars are 'green.'' 'Smart cities,' he continued, 'are transforming space previously surrendered to cars into new places for people, and re-introducing nature and green space into everyday urban life—to make cities more liveable and sustainable simultaneously. 'We're constantly told that all of this is too hard or too expensive. But it's only as hard as we choose to make it, and it's a lot cheaper than the huge cost of continuing to make the wrong choices. 'We need our cities to be a lot better: more responsible, more sustainable, and a lot more action-oriented. To do that, our cities need to inspire each other to take bigger, bolder action with a lot fewer excuses. To me, that's what this exhibition is all about: all of us—citizens of all ages and leaders alike—inspiring and challenging each other to go much further and faster with real urban climate action.'

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic's agent sparks rumors with LeBron James ‘big plans' tease
The post Nuggets' Nikola Jokic's agent sparks rumors with LeBron James 'big plans' tease appeared first on ClutchPoints. Nikola Jokic has till now been a one-team star. This is despite the fact that modern NBA has seen some major teamups, and some of them have involved names like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Now 40, James is still looking for that elusive fifth ring, and is at a crossroads with the Los Angeles Lakers. Having taken up his player option for the upcoming season, the Lakers look determined to build around Luka Doncic for the present and the future. Amidst it all, none other than the Serbian Nikola Jokic's agent was seen hanging out with James at a picturesque destination. On Instagram, the Denver Nuggets' superstar longterm agent Miško Ražnatović posted two photographs alongside LeBron James and Maverick Carter on a boat in Saint Tropez. However, the caption elevated a simple vacation post into something far more sinister. 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026! @kingjames @mavcarter,' BeoBasket's Raznatovic wrote. LeBron James is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the coming season. The Lakers have shown signs of wanting to move on from The King to instead focus on building around Luka Doncic. With James surely in the twilight of his career, another big move, the last of his career, may be on the cards. Considering the hue and cry surrounding his future, Nikola Jokic's agent seemed well aware of what he was doing with the post's caption. A potential Jokic-LeBron teammate does not only make financial sense considering the Nuggets are expected to have enough cap space in 2026. It will also be a war cry for the rest of the NBA considering two of the greatest players the league has ever seen can potentially team up together. That in itself may force the Nuggets' hand in the future, considering the Lakers look likely to move on and focus on younger players who match Doncic's timeline.

The Bonnie Blue documentary on Channel 4 is compelling but dangerous
Bonnie Blue may have slept with over a thousand men in a day as a publicity stunt, but that's not the bit that most sticks with you from her new Channel 4 documentary. 'We're the two most misunderstood people out there at the moment,' she sighs of Andrew Tate, the YouTuber facing charges including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking, all of which he denies. Tate is a self-proclaimed misogynist, having said on the platform that he's 'a realist and when you're a realist, you're sexist. There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist.' Blue, 26, whose real name is Tia Billinger, admits she engages in 'rage bait'. In other words, she says willingly provocative things to drive her engagement. She says she likes having sex with 'barely legal or barely breathing' men, that she'd like to have a disabled gang bang and that 'lazy' women are the reason men seek her out for sex. The new documentary tells the story of the Brit who became one of the most successful porn stars on OnlyFans, and features behind-the-scenes footage from the 'thousand men' stunt. It claims to examine a woman living 'at the edges of modern morality'. But fleeting shots of the hanky-panky and the 'how did she do it' narrative – that she had a doughnut halfway through bonking a small cruise ship's worth of men to keep her sugar levels up – disguise a more sinister narrative. In general the doc is too sympathetic to a dangerous character; it might have been better to have commissioned a multi-voice piece focusing on a broader picture of the sex industry today or for director Victoria SIlver to have appeared more in the piece to share her own views to provide more balance. Bonnie Blue seems plainly out of her depth, as someone who hasn't given much thought to the radicalisation of young men There are endless attempts at trying to justify her. During the piece her mum says 'if you earn a million pounds a month, your morals would change and you'd get your tits out.' But that's the thing: we can't. None of us are Blue. She was earning a reported $1 million a month on OnlyFans before she was banned for posting increasingly outrageous content, because she is an extraordinary character with a troubling ability to climb the porn ranks. The Channel 4 documentary is wrong: she isn't on the fringes of moral society, she's parroting highly irresponsible and dangerous narratives to vulnerable, largely young, people. She says she doesn't agree with everything Andrew Tate says, but by giving him such an over-arching praise and aligning herself with him so directly, she has lost the possibility for any nuance. Someone with Blue's platform, which reaches tens of millions of impressionable people, needs to understand the harmful effect their words can have. Her stunts earned her millions of followers, for obvious reasons. Her fans, many of whom are teenagers, were able to queue up and have sex with her for free. She has brought the fantasy of online porn into the real world. 'They sit at home wanking wondering what it's like to fuck me. So just come fuck me,' she says. But as the documentary also examines, she is sexist, suggesting in reductive generalised statements that it's women's fault that men aren't sexually satisfied. On stage during a press event for the documentary she spoke flippantly about 'fat' women. As she puts it: 'I'm happy to piss off the women because they're not my target audience.' Bonnie Blue isn't likeable or unlikable – just incredibly frustrating She worked for five years as a successful recruitment consultant, and through her porn persona you can see how she brings the bullishness of her former job into new territory. Bonnie Blue says in the doc that 'if you don't like it, stop wanking to it' and is firm on the notion that it's up to parents to teach their children about sex, not her (she also notes that Tate is a 'marketing genius'). But Blue isn't selling jobs in the NHS anymore, she's potentially damaging the mental health and confidence of millions of young people, and teaching a whole generation of young men that women's bodies are disposable. It comes amid worrying data: more sexual crimes than ever against under-18s are being committed by other under-18s. I'm not here to moralise about whether or not having sex with a thousand men in a day is wrong. It doesn't sound great to have under one minute with a sexual partner, and surely that's going to get in the heads of some of those men. But Blue's careless messaging and inability to take any responsibility is deeply troubling. I understand why they made it: Blue is someone we need to be having conversations about. The mainstreamisation of porn is going nowhere as the proliferation of online creators continues, but Channel 4's documentary may end up bolstering her toxic narratives. At the media Q+A, even director Victoria Silver seemed uncomfortable being asked how she felt personally about her subject. Blue does seem to have a deep-rooted love for men She comes across as someone plainly out of their depth, who hasn't given much thought to mental health or the radicalisation of young men. She seems content to bulldoze her way to another million, unwilling or unable to take responsibility for her actions. She isn't likeable or unlikable, more just incredibly frustrating. There are glimmers of a distinctive form of compassion: she is perhaps most believable and truly herself when she says how much she enjoys pleasuring men. Interestingly, the only man she had thrown out of the thousand men stunt was someone penis size-shaming other men. I do think she probably has a deep-rooted care for men. The documentary is also utterly compelling, you cannot take your eyes off her and the outrageous things she says. It's just a shame that her love might also be deeply damaging. airs on Channel 4 on Tuesday 29 July at 10pm
