And the entertainment industry is an integral component of the Southern California economy. This article goes into depth on the challenges faced by the business post-runaway production, post-Covid and post-labor strikes and offers real insight into what must be done for Los Angeles to become the home of Hollywood once again. https://lnkd.in/gv9euPa7

The 13 Best Movie Trailers of All Time, According to Reddit Yesterday I posted that "Logan" was one of the best trailers of all time. It got me thinking, what are the best? Well according to Reddit users "Logan" was #2. Alien (1979) is #1. I didn't need to watch the trailer to remember the tag line...."In space no one can hear you scream." P.S. Alien: Romulus.

[We Created a Fun DTF Film Ad!] Recently, I teamed up with our Creative Producer, Jason, to create a fun and engaging piece to promote Triforce’s DTF film. Unfortunately, today’s DTF film market has become so competitive that price often outweighs quality. We wanted to address quality issues in a humorous way to satirize this trend. Creating this ad was a great experience, and we’re excited to hear your feedback. If the response is positive, we plan to turn this concept into a series. Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

The path to meaningful content distribution is especially tricky, and producers are rethinking traditional models. Kudos to Dances with Films for presenting a first rate film sales and distribution panel with industry leaders Sejin Croninger (Paramount), Brian O'Shea (The Exchange), and Bill Vergos (Freestyle Digital), hosted by Jon Fitzgerald (Cause Cinema). Participating with my industry colleagues, we discussed customized, alternate approaches to sales and distribution in the emerging marketplace. While change takes time, we recognized reasons to be optimistic. Lewis Brisbois #independentfilm #filmfestivals #filmproduction #entertainmentlaw #filmlaw

Counting down to The Film Collaborative Distribution Days on 02-03 May! This FREE virtual event is presented in collaboration with Sundance Institute and Film Independent  and offers eight great sessions to help filmmakers demystify distribution. Topics include: 🎞️What are “all rights” buyers looking for? 🎞️Is a hybrid/bifurcated distribution strategy that includes the EU possible, and for which films? 🎞️Which Educational distributors are out there, for what types of films, and how do you find the one that is the best fit? 🎞️How should you incorporate an Educational window into your overall distribution strategy? 🎞️What steps can you take to make exhibitions of your film more accessible and inclusive? 🎞️What does it mean when festival “hits” are not receiving correspondingly “meaningful” distribution sales offers? 🎞️Can clinging to the potentially unrealistic dream of a big streaming or all rights deal risk your film’s ability to secure other meaningful distribution? 🎞️What should you look out for when signing a distribution agreement? PLUS Case Studies on Event Theatrical and Grassroots/Impact Distribution. Head to The Film Collaborative for free registration - looking forward to seeing many of our favorite storytellers there! Event sponsored by the Golden Globe Foundation
