LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Celebrity-created alcohol brands have rocketed in popularity over the last five years, driven by a millennial audience with a taste for the VIP status those brands afford. GrapeStars Entertainment, a new joint content venture from celebrity alcohol marketplace GrapeStars International Inc., and Los Angeles creative agency Observatory, aims to deepen consumer affinities to the innovative retail platform.

GrapeStars is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform for celebrity wine and spirit brands that connects customers across 45 states with 200-plus celebrity-owned and endorsed alcohol brands such as Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin, Metallica’s Blackened American Whiskey, David Beckham’s HAIG Club Whiskey, Mila Kunis’ Jim Beam Bourbon, and many more. These celebrity creators are already lending their personality to market these brands, but GrapeStars Entertainment will accelerate content creation as a lifestyle brand-focused entertainment studio.

GrapeStars Entertainment is a film, television and entertainment studio dedicated to creating content highlighting the GrapeStars brand, celebrity partners and their products. Through this collaboration, Observatory will work with the GrapeStars team to create entertainment programming centered on celebrity alcohol brands.

«In a content-driven consumer landscape, it’s no longer enough to just create a great product,» said Marco Fantinel, CEO of Fantinel Winery, who recently announced the launch of Sun Goddess Wines, an exclusive collection of limited-edition wines created in collaboration with Grammy award-winning, Oscar nominated singer, songwriter, actress, producer, and philanthropist, Mary J. Blige, and the internationally prestigious winery. «GrapeStars recognizes this and, through the launch of GrapeStars Entertainment, is elevating the business to meet consumer demand for engaging, celebrity-centered content and is ultimately providing greater value to fans, celebrities and their alcohol brands.»

The alcohol marketplace sought out Observatory, the full-service agency partner, because of the content expertise it honed as part of Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Marketing. «We’re thrilled to take GrapeStars International to the next level and leverage unique celebrity lifestyle content that consumers crave to strengthen brand affinities and further bridge the gap between celebrities and fans,» says Jean-Jean Pelletier, Founder, President & CEO of GrapeStars International. «With strong Hollywood connections and an understanding of what makes for engaging, results-driven content, Observatory is the perfect partner to help launch GrapeStars Entertainment.»

The combination of celebrity-driven content and dynamic alcohol brands drew Observatory to the venture. «GrapeStars Entertainment is a brilliantly simple concept, perfect for this moment. Celebrity brands are the single biggest driver of growth in the spirits industry,» says Observatory CEO, Jae Goodman. «So when Jean-Jean approached us about the idea of GrapeStars Entertainment, it was a relatively short conversation which involved Observatory saying the word YES.»

Observatory will handle the ideation, creation and distribution of all forms of content (which may include, but not limited to, feature films, unscripted series, and scripted series, among others). That content will be distributed on the GrapeStars app and across various entertainment platforms.

Observatory is known for its decade-plus work with global mega-brands, like AB InBev, Chipotle, Coca-Cola, Budweiser’s Global Halloween platform and the most successful campaign for Corona Mexico in its 100-year history, and has recently expanded its offering and expertise to include next-generation digital businesses like Bonobos, Kajabi, Masterclass, and now GrapeStars Entertainment.

«Thanks to almost a decade of representing the Diageo portfolio to the entertainment community when we were CAA Marketing, Observatory has a depth of experience and relationships that we’re thrilled to put to work on behalf of GrapeStars Entertainment,» says Brendan Shields-Shimizu, Observatory Managing Director.

To learn more about GrapeStars Entertainment and the Observatory partnership, tune into The GrapeStars Podcast episode with Jae Goodman.

The GrapeStars app is available for every iOS or Android device. Once installed, users make a profile and can browse their favorite celebrity brands to be delivered straight to their door. To learn more about the GrapeStars app, visit https://grapestars.com.

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man and BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — STXfilms, a division of Eros STX Global Corporation (NYSE:ESGC) («ErosSTX»), has signed the internationally celebrated Latin Grammy Award-winning global superstar Bad Bunny to make his feature film debut in its upcoming film American Sole, opposite Pete Davidson, O‘Shea Jackson Jr., Camila Mendes, and Offset, who were previously announced in the cast. The announcement was made today by Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group.

One of the most popular recording artists in the world and a phenomenon among Latin artists, Bad Bunny will have a supporting role currently being kept under wraps as it is crucial to the storyline.

American Sole follows two twenty-somethings (Davidson and Jackson) with mountains of college debt who use the fast cash of after-market sneaker reselling to achieve their American dream. But when their startup runs out of cash and a shady investor is their only way out, the dream quickly becomes a nightmare.

«We‘re tremendously excited by the way the cast is coming together and thrilled to have Bad Bunny joining this film,» said Fogelson. «As an actor, he‘ll provide not only incredible entertainment value but real authenticity to his role.»

American Sole is written and will be directed by Ian Edelman (HBO‘s «How to Make It in America,» Netflix‘s The After Party) and produced by Kevin Hart through his production company, HartBeat. Hart will be joined as producer by Jake Stein (Netflix‘s The After Party) through his Scondo Productions label, and NBA All-Star Chris Paul, who produces through his Ohh Dip!!! Productions banner. American Sole marks Paul‘s first feature film as producer. HartBeat‘s Bryan Smiley is executive producing along with Bad Bunny. Drew Simon and Patricia Braga will oversee the project for STXfilms. Liz Stephens negotiated the deals for the studio.

Bad Bunny is proclaimed as one of the most popular artists in the world. The multi-platinum artist, winner of the Latin GRAMMY and nominated for the GRAMMY, constantly manages to break language and stereotype barriers around the globe, becoming an international culture and entertainment icon. Following the huge impact he has had on mass audiences, Bad Bunny became the first Latin Reggaeton artist in history to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. He is also the second male personality to appear alone on the cover of Playboy magazine, after its founder, Hugh Hefner. His leadership within the Reggaeton and Trap genres has led him to dominate large stages during prominent music festivals and international concert tours.

His most recent album, «Las Que No Iban A Salir» debuted #1 on Billboard’s «Top Latin Albums,» dethroning himself over his previous albums, with «YHLQMDLG» at #2 and «X 100PRE» at #3. Bad Bunny is one of the Latin artists with the most entries to the global «Hot 100″ list, with a total of 24 hits. In addition, with his album «YHLQMDLG,» he became the first Latino artist in history to achieve the position #2 on the global list «Billboard 200.» Each of Bad Bunny’s releases has left their forceful mark on the history of Latin music. His artistic power and leadership in the entertainment world demonstrate his character as one of the most impactful artists of the moment and reaffirm his expansive position in the music industry.

Bad Bunny is represented by UTA and manager Noah Assad of Rimas Entertainment.
