David Laub Moves to Neon; Metrograph Pauses Releases
Imagine someone who helped make cool movies at A24 and then started his own movie label at Metrograph.
Now, that person, David Laub, is moving to a company called Neon!
He'll be in charge of marketing, publicity and getting awards for their movies.
Because David is leaving, Metrograph, the company where he was working, will stop releasing new movies in theaters for a little while.
They will focus on other things like showing movies and streaming.
It's like the person moving to the new job is very important to the movies.
David Laub, former head of Metrograph Pictures, is now SVP of Marketing & Publicity at Neon.
Laub's role at Neon includes marketing, publicity, and awards, working with Ryan Werner.
Laub previously worked at A24 for nearly nine years, overseeing film distribution.
Metrograph Pictures will pause theatrical releases following Laub's departure.
