YURI BARANOVSKY (WRITER)

Yuri Baranovsky is one of the founders of Happy Little Guillotine Studios — a creative agency and production company on the forefront of online entertainment. HLG Studios created the hit branded series "Leap Year," which among other accolades, gave the brand, Hiscox Insurance, a 35% bump in sales and insurance quotes. They also created one of the web’s biggest branded campaigns, the Slurpee Unity Tour - winner of the PRO CAMPAIGN OF THE YEAR award. Both campaigns (and all HLG Studios work) were directed and co-written by Yuri.   Aside from his work at HLG Films, Yuri has also written for several popular web series ("Suite 7," "The Temp Life"), was the Head Writer of the MOJO HD’s TV and internet series, "The Circuit."

Finally, Yuri is a thrice-published, internationally produced playwright — a fact that he likes to share quietly, in dark places, where theater still matters and the names of Neil Simon, David Ives and Tom Stoppard still bring with them a God-like reverence.
