Welcome to the Alan Smithee Podcast in which hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the latest news in production, post production, entertainment, tech and beyond. In this episode, the gang kicked off its fourth season with a rich discussion centered on the transformative trends shaping the entertainment industry, the contentious price hikes from Adobe and, the nascent venture capital fund founded by industry veterans Seth Hallan and Leon Silverman, aiming to seed-fund early-stage tech-production startups. Subsequently, Scott, Michael and Katie each share their dream new product or service (if only they had a million dollars to invest) that would solve their post production woes. And of course, there’s a bunch of really cool things to get excited about.
