“This is the beginning of a broader initiative to bring the exponential force of our producers, directors, artists and proprietary technology to branded content for agencies, networks and brands,” said Scott Benson, president of Big Block. “In the coming months we will be rolling out a unified brand identity for Big Block, as well as a slate of feature films under our own digital distribution banner.”
Carroll is experienced in all aspects of production, from live action, visual effects and postproduction to coding, making him ideally suited for technically challenging projects.

Carroll’s most recent project for Big Block is an interactive campaign for Nissan called “Meet the Machines” by digital agency Critical Mass.
