🌟 The Future of Hollywood: A New Era of Opportunity 🎥 Thanks to advancements in technology and the power of social media, the barrier to entry in the entertainment industry is lowering. Creators now have the ability to directly distribute their work, leading to a more diverse range of stories and better entertainment. The crumbling obstacles in Hollywood are giving underrepresented voices and stories a chance to shine. Creators from diverse backgrounds are sharing their experiences on social media, leading to a wave of new narratives that challenge the industry's lack of diversity. It's a true transformation. At Passbook, we embrace these industry shifts and technological advancements. We see them as an opportunity to create more inclusive spaces, particularly for black and brown creators who often lack industry connections. Together, we're reshaping the Creator Economy into a vibrant and diverse hub of talent. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dRwjj376 #Passbook #Hollywood #Entertainment #CreatorEconomy

Georgia Entertainment had a fantastic opening night for their 2024 Unscripted Roadshow at Cinelease Studios THREE RING in Covington, GA, known as the "Hollywood of The South". This event also marked the launch of the second edition of the "Georgia Entrainment Journal", showcasing the 200 Most Influential individuals in Georgia's Creative Industries. Here is a link to the digital version of the publication: https://lnkd.in/eRpjasmy Randy Davidson , Founder and CEO of Georgia Entertainment and Co-Publisher, expressed, “We felt the time had come to recognize the leading players in Georgia’s dynamic entertainment economy. These professionals, spanning all areas of Georgia’s creative industries, are collectively responsible for the state’s leading position as the creative, cultural, and entertainment capital of the world.” I want to personally thank The Georgia Entrainment selection team for including me in the 200 Most Influential of Georgia Creatives. I am deeply honored to stand together with an amazing group of influencers who have worked to make this state the creative hub that it is. But I wouldn't stop there. Let's add what my friend Bem Joiner coined, “Atlanta Influences Everything”. As a young artist in the 80s, to see what we have accomplished in the last 30 years is just a start for Georgia! Did you know there is a definition by AMERICANS for the ARTS on what is a Creative Economy? According to them, “The Creative Economy is an economic ecosystem of for-profit and nonprofit creative industries, artists and the artist workforce, educators, entrepreneurs, vendors, policymakers and funders that produce and distribute creative and artist-based goods and services.” Some quick numbers to illustrate the size of our industry: $2.2 Trillion (Globally) and for our Creative State $31.6 Billion (in Georgia) - ranking second only to LA! ..

This timeless wisdom holds true across various aspects of life, whether it's academics, sports, career, or personal growth. Preparation lays the foundation for achievement and is an indispensable ingredient for reaching one's goals. Curated by Martin R Ricketts When we prepare, we equip ourselves with the tools, knowledge, and skills required to face challenges and seize opportunities. It's like sharpening a blade before entering a battle; readiness ensures we are at our best when the moment of truth arrives. Those who are well-prepared are more resilient in the face of adversity and can pivot effectively when circumstances change. Success often hinges on the ability to adjust to new challenges and opportunities, and preparation equips us with the flexibility to do so. Do Work You Love. Monetize Your Story.

Many print magazines have failed to make the leap to digital. That makes Warner Bros. Discovery's MotorTrend Group, which went from magazines to profitable digital & video business, something of an anomaly. "It was like a Harvard Business Review case study-type opportunity — how do you take a brand and make it modern and pull it without breaking it?" said pres/CEO Alex Wellen.

Before we enter a month filled with SXSW anecdotes, also known as March, and reminded by Ignacio Linares's latest post about the killer work we produced for HBO's #SXSWestworld, I wanted to share some insights as to how we yielded 1.9 billion impressions. In addition to an extremely thoughtful, built-from-scratch park experience with seamless transportation to and from the park, we developed a content narrative designed to expand the park globally. Successful content strategies from #SXSWestworld: Pre-during-post model: Robust in-world assets narrated a story that started before the park opened, drove engagement during, and extended the story after SXSW ended. Content planning is important for maintaining a consistent presence and effectively standing out amidst the noise on social at #sxsw. Authenticity matters: Regardless of whether guests held tickets granting access for Thursday but viewed our content on Wednesday, found themselves in Austin but unable to attend, or were in London, our goal was to authentically translate the park experience onto Westworld’s social channels. To achieve this, our photos and videos were shot and edited in a CCTV-style treatment, enabling those not physically present at the park to feel immersed in the experience, even if only as observers. Offering value: Within the park, interactive elements were accessible to those in the know or the determination to uncover all of its hidden corners and secrets. Our content provided easter eggs to our guests before they entered the park, playing a pivotal role in ensuring a fully immersive experience. To all of those who made this one of my favorite projects: David Jacobsen Adam Wiese Justin McCoy Alexa Masano Patrick Jong Reed Whitney Annie Chen Will Morel Brais Revaldería Allister Hercus Paul Baranda JM Herrmann Mike Friedman Jordan Pennino

Creator-fan relationships are going interactive. The days of creators simply pushing out content and fans passively consuming are fading. The future is about active participation and shared success. Where fans directly contribute to a creator's journey through exclusive experiences, products or even a share of their revenue. This fosters a deeper connection, where fans feel valued and invested in the creator's vision. In turn, creators gain direct access to their fandom, financial security and the freedom to build a loyal community on their own terms. Here at PPOW.TECH we believe that this collaborative approach is the future of the creator economy, empowering creators and fans to thrive together. What are your thoughts on the future of creator-fan relationships? #futureofcreators #creators #communitybuilding #creatoreconomy

Hey there, fellow filmmakers, content creators, and media enthusiasts, 🎞 In this dynamic realm of storytelling and imagination, it's crucial for us to stand together, support one another, and collectively elevate our craft. Let's transform the narrative of competition into a symphony of collaboration. Jealousy and envy have no place among artists who share a common passion. Instead of being disheartened by someone else's success, let's celebrate it as a victory for our entire community. Every accomplishment is a step towards raising the bar for creativity as a whole. Networking isn't just about collecting contacts; it's about forming meaningful connections that inspire and facilitate growth. By reaching out, sharing insights, and collaborating, we unlock infinite possibilities. Remember, teamwork amplifies individual strengths, leading to remarkable outcomes that we couldn't achieve alone. So, let's applaud each other's triumphs, learn from our collective experiences, and extend a helping hand when needed. As we build a united front, we'll not only advance as individuals but also nurture an environment where innovation thrives. Here's to supporting, appreciating, and empowering one another. Together, we'll script a story of success that resonates far beyond the screen. 🚀 #CreativeUnity #CollaborationOverCompetition #MediaMakersUnite #InspireAndGrow
