How Next-Gen Filmmakers are Changing Hollywood

Monday, March 16
2:00PM - 3:00PM

Austin Convention Center

Austin Convention Center

Digital platforms like YouTube have given emerging filmmakers an outlet to distribute original short films, and in some cases, build huge audiences. As the medium continues to evolve, creators are rewriting the rules for what it takes to achieve high production values on a budget. And with constant interaction with fans on social channels, these filmmakers understand what their audiences want and have become masters at promoting new work. With an engaged fanbase and independent funding options like Kickstarter, how will emerging filmmakers rewrite the Hollywood rules to jump the chasm from digital shorts to feature films and TV series? A talent manager, a producer, and a creator will discuss how both new and traditional Hollywood models will factor into the mainstream success of the next era of film and TV.
