Atlantis (Studio)

Film Production, Awards Campaigns, and Client-Driven Public Relations

Description

Atlantis (Studio) thrusts as a commercial film production powerhouse and prized Beverly Hills PR client, its films igniting inferno when two paltry Golden Globe nominations mock heavy spending on awards campaigns. Roger Becker, its PR sentinel, explodes at C.J. for failing to fabricate triumphs from dross, his clout—tarnished by a Premiere power list plummet—forcing Isobel to axe C.J. instantly, exposing the studio's iron grip on agency loyalties and its voracious drive to bully optics into box-office salvation.
