Longtime WME partner Sean Perry is preparing to exit the agency after 25 years to launch a production company, 2500 Media.
Perry’s banner will focus on unscripted series as well as documentaries and some scripted projects. Perry has quietly been working with WME leaders on the transition for several months.

Dash isn’t the first movie to take place in a ride share but it is one of the best. Featuring a protagonist ripe to reap the rewards of countless bad decisions the film is more than content to let him make more of them. The result is a jaw dropping character study done in one take that will have you shouting at the humans on screen even as you happen things won’t get any worse.

But director/writer Sean Perry has so many suprises in store for viewers and coaxes such effective performances out of lead player Alexander...
