The New Media Ecosystem

​The traditional studio system isn't the only path anymore, and it might not even be the best one. Creator Camp, American Picture Company, and Guggenheim Brothers Media break down the biggest opportunities in entertainment and what it takes to build and finance something that outlives the algorithm.

​From short-form vertical shows to feature films with theatrical releases. We explore how each model actually makes money. Where distribution leverage lives today. What investors are paying attention to. And what the next generation of studios will look like.

​Followed by an Oscars watch party + drinks.
