This really resonated with me. Not because I believe anybody is doing anything particularly wrong or there’s a direction to point blame and fear, but because left unchecked and unchallenged, the logic presented here could easily continue to hold truer as platforms evolve. I think our audiences are actually smarter than ever, which means challenging them or evoking the same level of emotion, whether it be a tear, a terror, or a laugh is harder than ever. The challenge of the enticing feeling of originality is that there are truly more movies, TV, and yes, content than ever out there, with wider access then historically there’s ever been. And any challenge with financial metrics is a multi layered risk that affects the livelihood and temperament of so many. Like Apatow said, there are plenty of those who see the need and are still fighting for the great slates, but many are questioning this notion. There’s a lot of over correcting changing performance metrics to define, and sometimes confine, creative risk and management. Please keep rising to the challenge filmmakers, creatives, execs, and all others. We need the risk, it’s worth the reward. Those who have the greatest creative AND business names have taken the risks, failed a thousand times, and succeeded just enough times that their names are forever sealed in history. #film #television #thoughtleadership

We're on a slippery slope in the film and television world. I'm not sure what the answer is but one thing's for sure... a society without art is doomed to dark times. While there's several comments in this article that alarm me, this excerpt in particular hits a cord - “There are these corporate behemoths and people from the tech world taking over creativity. And for some of them — not all of them — their intentions are just eyeball time online,” the “This Is 40” writer/director Apatow said. “I don’t know if they’re obsessed with quality filmmaking in the way other owners of these entities have been in the past. That’s why they started calling it ‘content.’ All of a sudden, they diminished it as much as it possibly could be. I don’t think it would be that weird if you read something in the paper that Pornhub bought Paramount+.” #filmmaker https://lnkd.in/ejdB9E5b

An extensive report on the state of the movie/TV industry in the wake of the writer's strike. What this highlights above all else is how creatives are squeezed at every level, manipulated, and ultimately forced out of the industry. What does the future of film and TV look like when there are no more creatives left to tell stories? What kind of profits does a media conglomerate generate when no one watches anymore? https://lnkd.in/gUN3ysyB

Launched in the international market during LA Screenings Independents, in May, ‘Justice: Misconduct’ reached record consumption on Globoplay in Brazil. The Globoplay Originals series written by Manuela Dias (‘A Mother’s Love’) and directed by Gustavo Fernández (‘Pantanal’ and ‘Rebirth’) is the most-watched series ever published on the platform within the first 30 days of release. With 28 episodes, ‘Justice: Misconduct’ follows four characters who end up in prison and, seven years later, are released and must rebuild their lives in search of justice that goes beyond logic and legal processes. The plot is consolidated as an anthology series, following the same structure and format as ‘Justice: Life Is Not Fair’, which was nominated for the International Emmy for Best Actress with Adriana Esteves and Best Drama Series, albeit with new characters. The cast of ‘Justice: Misconduct’ also includes names such as Paolla Oliveira (‘Edge of Desire’), Marco Ricca (‘Orphans of a Nation’), Danton Mello (‘In Your Place’), and Alice Wegmann (‘Rensga Hits’). In other words, it is a total success! We're already looking forward to breaking new audience records, not just in Brazil, but around the world! #GloboDistribution #Globo #Globoplay #production #newrelease #series #Justice

The after-effects of the writers' and actors' strikes will linger well into 2024. Production start for new TV shows will be slow because producers prioritize existing, successful shows. There will also be fewer new movies for a while. Both will impact studios' and publishers' business. None of the streaming services are making any money, so the money for the deal will have to come out of production - meaning that while some actors will get more money, some won't get any work at all. On the other hand, this $1B deal - and the writers' deal, which was well under $1B- are relatively small compared to the overall size of the industry, roughly around $100B in the U.S. for digital, linear and the box office. The writers strike had ended in September. -- Striking Actors and Hollywood Studios Agree to a Deal https://lnkd.in/gfG24qN8

Creative Producer & Film Industry Consultant | Virtual Production Producer | I share my knowledge on filmmaking and audience growth. | Creating a filmmaking tribe.
You make a short film, it doesn't get into the festivals you wanted, you post it to YouTube then you get an email from Darren Aronofsky. That happened to Wesley Wang. I understand this is an outlier scenario, but it could be the beginning of a new trend. A few things that helped Wesley in making a successful short film. The two main actors had a combined Instagram following of 2 million. The film was made by Gen Z, about Gen Z, for Gen Z. He knew his story and his audience. However, the story feels a bit timeless too. I'm a 40 year old millennial, and I could see my youth in that film. He used Indiegogo to raise $15,000 then worked part time to raise nearly another $30K to get to his production budget of $45K. After the film didn't get into festivals he had hoped for, he sent it to producers and studios, but heard nothing back. So he decides to just post it on YouTube where it spreads and those same producers and studios are now reaching back out to him. The short film is now a proof of concept for a feature film. That is the next step in the journey. Wesley will write and direct a feature off of the story of his short film. At the moment studios are looking for new IP, new talent, and new ways to reach audiences. If you have a good story, that is told well, that reaches an audience, that can be the trifecta of content studios are looking for. Maybe they just like the story/IP. Maybe the just like your talent as a filmmaker. As Lucas Shaw mentions in the interview as well, like studios option books, magazine articles, and even podcasts ⤵ They are in the acquisition business. They want new material that will sell. New talent that can reach new audiences is even better. One last takeaway - in the interview Wesley says he made 21 short films before this one. Each time you make a short film you learn a lot and you grow an audience. If nothing else, hone your skill and grow your audience. Even if the studios don't come knocking - you can use that audience to earn a revenue and continue on your filmmaking journey. Instead of sharing the short film I decided to share an interview with Wesley as I thought this video would be more insightful and useful.

📉Less than 10% of film and TV creatives are from working-class backgrounds. Dramatic new research from Channel 4 News finds that, despite attempts to change the image of a sector dominated by nepotism, working-class creatives are at the lowest in a decade. What more needs to be done to close the class gap in the creative sector? #SpeakersforSchools #socialmobility #arts #policy #class
