Thrash Lab is the YouTube/internet wing of Katalyst Media, a company founded by Ashton Kutcher (yes, that Ashton Kutcher) and his producing buddy Jason Goldberg, originally to develop conventional tv and movie projects (and what could be more conventional than their first two features,
Punk'd and
The Butterfly Effect?), but has since blossomed into a company that handles original branded internet content for major corporations, and now supports original creative endeavors as well. For the record, we have no idea why Ashton wasn't at this party. Perhaps a scheduling conflict with his poetry slam?
