Phillip James Christon
The Idea Man

"Tell a story..."

Phillip James Christon is an international award-winning filmmaker with a career spanning nearly two decades in mainstream Hollywood and Independent feature film production for virtually every major studio including Paramount Pictures, Universal, Warner Bros, New Line and Fine Line Cinema, in addition to Superbowl and Oscar contender commercials for DDB Needham, Leo Burnett and TBWA/Chiat/Day, as well as groundbreaking music videos for Sony, Arista, Maverick and Virgin.

A summa cum laude graduate of the UCLA School of Film, Phillip James climbed every rung of the Hollywood production ladder, working alongside a host of the industry's most prestigious filmmakers, ranging from Gus Van Sant, Bill Condon, Gore Verbinski and Jonathan Demme, to top photographers Herb Ritts, Matthew Rolston and Annie Leibovitz, as well as a "Who's Who" of A-List celebrities spanning the actor/pop-star/athlete gamut, from Keanu Reeves and Madonna to Michael Jordan.

As both producer and writer/director, Phillip James' personal projects have premiered, toured and been awarded at major film festival circuits throughout the world, including The Seattle International Film Festival, The Hamptons International Film Festival, The USA International Film Festival, and The Weis International Film Festival, Austria, and reflect a cutting-edge, daring, often controversial aesthetic (The Chosen One, The Bundle), fuel Phillip James' passion for reinventing the wheel (Fashion Fiction) and continue to push the boundaries of cinematic language (shortattentionspan.tv) as he forges new territory in the global age of interactive multimedia.

Co-founding WEBISODIC in 1999 with visionary partner Ndoema, Phillip James planted a flagstaff in the burgeoning interactive market which has since expanded into an international roster of top corporate, fashion and entertainment clients. Recognized in industry circles as a prolific, story-driven idea man, Phillip James attributes the global success of WEBISODIC to one simple yet elusive prime factor and credo - Content Is King.




Ndoema
The Visionary

"Spark desire..."

Ndoema’s arrival as a visionary artist and design phenomenon registers at the speed of light, on the heels of an already rich and eclectic background. Half French/Half African and 100 percent cosmopolitan, Ndoema ricocheted between a dozen countries before the age of twenty, garnered a pair of Master’s degrees in International Relations, served as a UN field rep in the mine-strewn wastelands of Mozambique, pursued a Ph.D. in International Law, and simultaneously trained as a classical ballerina at the French National School of Music, Dance and Dramatic Arts.

Springboarding to the Parsons School of Design in New York, within a month the chronic overachiever was approached by the faculty and invited to teach. Her portfolio was submitted to the chairman of the Fashion department and within 48 hours Ndoema went from student to guest lecturer.

Leaping coastlines, the starry-eyed fledgling premiered her first runway in the heartland of Hollywood, where she took camera in hand, photographing her own avant-garde collections with an equally bold and cinematic eye. Ndoema’s striking photographic imagery immediately began appearing in an impressive array of Hollywood forums and fashion publications, spearheaded by a profile in Variety’s “Designing Hollywood” special issue.

Ndoema’s spectacularly staged multimedia events, at prime venues such as Hollywood and Highland (home of the Oscars), as well as her own 60,000 square foot gallery in downtown L.A.'s historic Southern Pacific Railway building, have since attracted thousands of attendees and garnered high-profile corporate sponsorships including Shiseido, Vespa, Carlton International and Wilhelmina.

As co-founder and Executive Creative Director of WEBISODIC, Ndoema brings the glamour and excitement of Fashion and Entertainment to the expanding world of interactive media. Combining vision and technological innovation, along with her unique forsight for emerging trends, Ndoema masterminds interactive content engineered to evoke intense emotion, harnessing the hypnotic appeal of compelling imagery that has become the WEBISODIC trademark.
