After Being Stuck Indoors, Global Beer Brand Corona Launches New Original Content Series “Free Range Humans” to Inspire a Life of Disconnection Outside

The New Series on Corona Social Channels Marks the Launch of ABInBev
’
s Corona Studios

NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On average, people spend 90% of their lives indoors*, and in the nine months since lockdowns started around the world, this has felt more real than ever. For many, this reality has sparked a growing desire to be outside and explore a lifestyle away from the familiar urban jungle and closer to nature. Increasingly, this has led to populations fleeing large cities** in search of a more fulfilling life.

As a brand linked to the beach and nature, Corona is addressing this shift with the launch of its new original content series, Free Range Humans. The series, which celebrates real-life individuals who made the leap, aims to inspire those pursuing meaningful lives outside to take that next step once the pandemic subsides. Corona believes our best selves are experienced outside, and it is with this mantra that the brand is delivering a first-in-kind series to provide much needed escapism with the credibility that few can. The series is the first global content franchise from the Anheuser Busch InBev (AB InBev) brand, which operates and markets Corona exclusively outside of the US.

Free Range Humans is an eight-part digital content series celebrating individuals that chose to break from routine in pursuit of more fulfilling lives outside. The series comes out of the newly launched Corona Studios, and marks the first of many content-led initiatives for the brand, who is expanding its entertainment footprint to engage consumers more deeply across their passion points. Free Range Humans can be viewed on Corona’s Youtube channel and other social platforms starting today.

For many, a relaxed, outdoor way of life is a mere daydream. Through its 6-10 minute episodes, Free Range Humans offers mental disconnection for those indoors and celebrates the stories of individuals around the world who made this a reality. They challenged a conventional lifestyle to overcome obstacles and fully embrace their passions, ranging from underwater art sculpting to the development of an influential female surf school. Each story offers insight and inspiration into what a rich life can be when we just make that first step.

Free Range Humans season one features:

  • Bruna Bessa, a Brazilian public relations associate turned surf instructor and founder of Mare Alta, a women’s empowerment surf camp that hosts retreats around the world.
  • Juan Pablo Bueno, a Colombian biologist who built an eco-friendly resort in the jungle of La Macarena without disturbing a single tree.
  • Mario Rigby, a Canadian influencer who gave up a potential Olympic career to become a world traveller focused on breaking cultural perceptions by helping people discover new places and people around the world.
  • Emily Penn, a Cambridge-trained architect turned ocean advocate from the UK who leads sailing expeditions to eradicate plastic from our oceans.
  • Jason deCaires Taylor, a UK artist who used his passion and talent to create underwater sculptures that become coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
  • Roushanna Gray, a South African sustainable coastal forager who educates students about the edible treasures that nature has to offer.
  • Zandile Ndhlovu, who broke through cultural barriers to become the first Black freediving instructor in South Africa.
  • Darci Liu, a dancer who became China’s first professional surfer, using her knowledge to inspire and change perception as a surf coach, eco-entrepreneur, and environmental advocate.

Free Range Humans marks the formal launch of Corona Studios, a new venture within the brand to provide high quality, consistent, and entertaining content to consumers. With Corona Studios, the brand will build deeper consumer connections through story-led content across its passion point verticals of travel, surf lifestyle, sustainability, wellness, and the creative arts. Over the last nine months, the brand has set the stage for this platform, producing over 30 films in collaboration with dozens of local, world class creators. As the platform expands, Corona Studios aims to diversify its content base across relevant formats and verticals, from long form videos to short form clips and more. Free Range Humans was originally conceived by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam and developed as a global entertainment platform by Pereira O’Dell.

“This is not just another travel series. With the events of this year, we know that people around the world are increasingly appreciative of the outside and pondering what an alternative life could look like. This series was developed to give new, first-hand inspiration on what that could look like once the lockdowns subside” said Felipe Ambra, Global Corona VP. “The people we are celebrating are an embodiment of the Corona lifestyle and we hope can serve as motivation for others to pursue a fulfilling life in and around the natural world when they are able to.”

While Free Range Humans is inspired by the traditional television show format, it was specifically shot to live natively across the social universe, with a connected ecosystem of supporting content. Instead of standard 22 minute episodes, for example, the series offers 6-10 minutes episodic stories, collectively equivalent to the production of a feature film, involving collaboration with over 100 people. Each episode is flanked with a range of promotional cuts and 2-3 assets for the curious minds looking to explore each cast members’ passion points more deeply.

Notably, the series was produced remotely by Pereira O’Dell and shot by Rocket Film. The casting process was rigorous and assessed 500 candidates, and the shoot included teams working in six virtual edit rooms across multiple time zones, allowing for nimble, real-time collaboration between editors, producers, and sound design daily. Post-production was led by Cosmo Street Editorial, with music scored by Quiet City.

In light of the COVID-19 climate and with consumers increasingly emboldened to disconnect and pursue their passions, Corona also wants to enable more people to live a free range lifestyle. That is why the brand is accompanying its series launch with the announcement of its Free Range Fund, a grant pool to help support the outside projects of select consumers globally. With the fund, Corona aims to identify and enable passionate individuals who broke routine to pursue their projects fully, with the potential to be featured in Season Two of Free Range Humans. Consumers can apply for the fund at www.CoronaFreeRangeFund.uk starting Wednesday, November 25th.

IGC Commences Phase 1 of Cannabinoid Clinical Trial for Alzheimer’s Patients

IGC Commences Phase 1 of Cannabinoid Clinical Trial for Alzheimer’s Patients

POTOMAC, MD–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC) announced that it is enrolling participants suffering from mild to severe dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease for its Phase 1 clinical trial.

Our subsidiary, IGC Pharma, LLC, received approval from an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) as previously disclosed, engaged a Principal Investigator and a study site, and began enrolling participants for a Phase 1 trial on its Investigational Drug Candidate (“IDC”), IGC-AD1.

Our Phase 1 study is a placebo-controlled study. IGC-AD1 will be administered for three 14-day periods, with the dose escalated in each of the periods. The participants will be monitored daily, certain data will be collected, and while collection of safety data is the primary objective, we will, for research purposes, collect data that extends beyond safety. For example, we expect to collect data on how fast IGC-AD1 is absorbed through the body (pharmacokinetics), how long it lasts in the body, and whether different individuals process it differently based on polymorphisms of the liver enzyme CYP450 2C9. In addition, we will monitor, through tests, certain behavioral aspects brought on by dementia to help us in anticipated future phases of the study.

As previously reported, on July 30, 2020, IGC received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to proceed with a 12-subject Phase 1 human clinical trial (“removal of full clinical hold”) on its Investigational New Drug Application (“INDA”), IGC-AD1, submitted under Section 505(i) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

To receive investigational drug approval as a pharmaceutical drug, the Sponsor (IGC Pharma, LLC) must conduct several trials and gather data. These typically start with pre-clinical trials that involve testing the IDC on cells outside of a living organism (in vitro), followed by animal testing. This in vitro and animal data was previously disclosed. Based on promising evidence, we are pursuing human trials, for which the FDA must give permission. Following Pre-INDA meeting correspondence in late 2018, we submitted an INDA to the FDA in November 2019. This process included presenting the results of in vitro and animal studies, safety data, a protocol outlining how a potential trial will be run, how data will be collected, how participant data will be protected, how IGC-AD1 will be made, who will make it, what is in it, data on the stability of the formulation, and details on the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC). We also agreed a) to obtain an Informed Consent Form (ICF) from participants that would be reviewed and approved by an IRB, and b) to follow all rules required for studying IDCs, including those surrounding COVID-19.

While we cannot guarantee the time frame, taking into account the upcoming holidays and current restrictions brought on by COVID-19, we expect to complete the phase 1 study during the first half of calendar 2021.

About IGC:

IGC operates two lines of business: (i) infrastructure and (ii) life sciences. The Company is based in Potomac, Maryland, U.S.A. social media: www.igcinc.uswww.igcpharma.com Twitter @IGCIR.

About Alzheimer’s Disease:

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. It is a progressive disorder that destroys memory and other important mental functions. AD currently affects more than 5.3 million Americans, about 44 million worldwide, and over 65% of AD patients are women. It is known as America’s most expensive disease, with an estimated cost to the U.S. economy of $236 billion. To date, no effective cure has been found.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based largely on IGC’s expectations and are subject to several risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond IGC’s control. For the next several years, our success is highly correlated primarily with the successful outcome of our clinical trials and the recovery of the world and regional economies following the COVID-19 pandemic and secondarily on the sale of our products and services candidates. IGC may not be able to complete human trials on our investigational drug candidates or, once conducted, the results of human trials testing results may not be favorable or as anticipated. IGC may not be able to complete human trials on the estimated and expected timelines for various reasons, including low enrollment of or inability to enroll qualified patients. Our projections and investments anticipate stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years, as well as certain regulatory changes, specifically in states and territories where medical cannabis has been legalized, and the diseases which we anticipate our products will target are, become, or remain approved conditions for treatment or usage with cannabis/cannabinoids. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately or receive patents. We may not receive regulatory approval for our products, or trials. An additional risk factor worth highlighting is that the patent applications we have licensed may not be granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), even if the Company is in full compliance with USPTO requirements. We may not have adequate resources, including financial resources, to successfully conduct all requisite clinical trials, to bring products to market, or to pay applicable maintenance fees over time. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our products, even if they are successful and receive regulatory approval. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, our stock price, and our financial condition. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, competitive conditions in the industries in which IGC operates, failure to commercialize one or more of the technologies of IGC, general economic conditions that are less favorable than expected, the FDA’s general position regarding hemp-based products, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on global and regional economies in which IGC participates, and other factors, many of which are discussed in IGC’s SEC filings. IGC incorporates by reference the Risk Factors identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2020 and November 20, 2020 as if fully set forth and restated herein. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this release will in fact occur.
