At its core, I organized my 5 day virtual summit about Navigating the Future of Entertainment to help us creatives, artists, and storytellers answer two key questions:
What the hell is happening to our beloved film industry? And how can we shape the future of cinema?
With over 70 producing credits and 60 more as the former Co-Head of Movies at Amazon Studios, Ted Hope (connect with Ted here on Substack) has had a front-row seat to decades of disruption in Hollywood. In this conversation, Ted and I break down exactly why Hollywood’s business models are fundamentally broken and how that’s affected the quality (or lack thereof) in most movies today. Ted shares how the (broken) streaming business model has changed both our attention spans and also the way studios now prioritize content—shifting from quality to quantity. We also explore where storytelling is headed in the age of the creator economy, and what it means for filmmakers trying to do meaningful work in a shifting landscape.
