    Since launching in 2007, BermanBraun has had its fingers in a number of pots, investing in film, television and digital properties. Among its offerings are MSN's celebrity site Wonderwall, the NBC series "Deception" and the SyFy show "Alphas," as well as a proposed feature film version of the self-help book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."
