UTA has hired Fox and Verizon vet Claudia Russo as SVP of corporate communications.
Russo most recently spent three years as head of communications for Verizon Business Markets, the $13-billion division of the telecom giant. In addition to supervising a team of 20, she also supported the broader business portfolio of the chief revenue officer.

‘Solomon King’ Trailer: Long Lost Blaxploitation Film Hits the Festival Circuit with New Restoration
Until recently, even the most dedicated grindhouse enthusiasts may not have recognized the name “Solomon King.” The 1974 thriller, which follows a Black ex-CIA agent who travels to the Middle East to avenge his girlfriend’s murder, was the only film directed by Sal Watts. Shot on location in Oakland with a cast of non-professional actors and costumes provided by a clothing store owned by the director, the movie is an early example of the DIY spirit that later came to define independent cinema.
The film was thought to be lost, but a highly successful Kickstarter campaign raised over 22,000 to restore it. Backers of the campaign will finally see the effort pay off this fall when Deaf Crocodile Films’ new restoration of “Solomon King,” complete with new color grading and significant audio improvements, premieres at Fantastic Fest in September. With today’s release of the new trailer, many are taking...
