Radiant Media has been selected to create the HypeFest festival's 2005 show open that will run prior to each screening at the event, which takes place in Hollywood, July 29-31, 2005.

"HypeFest links independent ideas with commercial creativity and Radiant's concept and company attitude reflects that idea in a truly complementary fashion," said HypeFest Festival co-director Jessie Nagel. "Choosing the right creative team for our open is always a fun and difficult challenge. Each year we see such great work, and Radiant's concept is no exception."

"We're very excited to have been selected to produce the HypeFest 2005 open," concurs Radiant Media'sDoug Refro. "Our concept's classic, educational filmstrip aesthetic fits nicely with the HypeFest mission to promote short films, music videos, commercials, and promos at one event. It's a terrific opportunity to showcase our conceptual and production skills and our somewhat random sense of humor."

Radiant Media is a Knoxville, Tennessee-based animation, design, film and production company which produces television productions, graphic packages, promos, and commercials for clients including DIY Network, Discovery Health, Food Network, HGTV, and Oxygen Network.
