Future Of Film

Aside from streaming platforms utilizing machine learning (ML) to maximize an understanding of their viewership, the film industry has had few recent technological developments.

Focus is placed on a rewards based interactive system to participate in decision making and shaping content before their release.

The film business and tech industry have begun to converge in adapting business models that fit the past, present and future for studios and audiences worldwide.

We must define the strongest elements from traditional Hollywood models and combine them with disruptive technological tools that utilize network capabilities to simplify the production process, while making it more efficient and enjoyable to participate in from script to screen.
