Managing Partner, m ss ng p eces
Applause, please: Recognized as Webby Production Company of the Year in 2025, m ss ng p eces managing partner Kate Oppenheim leads a team who know how to set the internet on fire. The five wins spanned splashy campaigns such as KFC’s Saucy Nuggets Dispensary, which gave the boutique cannabis treatment to its limited edition line of condiments, and the short film “Echoes of Ailey” that brought the renowned studio’s dancers inside the Whitney Museum during its retrospective on the company.
Not just ads: A three-time Emmy-winning producer, Oppenheim has served as EVP of the Tribeca Film Festival since 2021.
Lee Sung Jin
Screenwriter, Director & Showrunner, Beef
Well done: The first season of Beef, released in 2023, was so intense that we’re still talking about it. Ali Wong and Steve Yeun tackling class, mental health, and the need for human connection through a road rage feud required the empathetic, culturally savvy work of Lee Sung Jin.
New Beef: Season 2 of Beef, which premiered in April, not only has brand-new stars in Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, it’s unpacking its own special baggage: generational conflict between millennials and Gen Z.
Side project: Jin flew to South Korea to make a music video with RM of K-pop boy band BTS after the singer’s team sent him a DM on Instagram. Apparently, the series resonated across the world, too.
