Here Apichatpong Weerasethakul is in full force, offering a cinematic experience of the sensory. If one were to critique a film based solely on its sonic sensibilities, Memoria achieves the highest embodiment of altered states possible through the marriage of sound and visuals. The realms of human consciousness are Apichatpong's focus and it is through sound design and music that we fall into his world.

ViacomCBS International Studios’ children’s division Vis Kids has signed a first-look deal with John Boyega’s UpperRoom Productions as part of a raft of content partnerships announced at the Kidscreen Summit Virtual 2021.

Under the deal with UpperRoom, the Star Wars actor’s company will present three to five projects to Vis Kids for consideration to develop into long-form series. Financial terms and the length of the deal were not disclosed.

Boyega founded UpperRoom in 2016 and last year, the outfit signed a deal with Netflix to develop non-English language films focusing on west and east Africa. Boyega has also boarded the South African crime thriller God Is Good as executive producer and is overseeing the film’s soundtrack through his UpperRoom Records label.

Other deals signed by Vis Kids include a first-look animation agreement with Fred Seibert, the driving force behind shows including Nickelodeon’s The Fairy OddParents and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.
