VIDEO: SingularDTV on Decentralizing Hollywood

The Challenges Filmmakers Face in a Centralized Entertainment Industry

An in-depth discussion about film distribution, Hollywood and SingularDTV with Zach LeBeau (CEO), Kim Jackson (President of Entertainment) and Jason Tyrrell (VP of Content).

The entertainment world is evolving rapidly, intertwined with technology and the companies that are best deploying it. The independent film industry, just one segment of this huge tapestry, has transformed from a space of busy competition between dozens of entities on a reasonably level playing field, to a much more centralized paradigm, where a very few companies are poised to control the majority of the funding, the creators, AND the audience. An independent film distributor aiming to compete with one of these players over content is going to find an almost impossible hill to climb. Yet the real problem is that this structure continues to support a paradigm where a very few gatekeepers and intermediaries hold the content and the audience hostage. At SingularDTV, we’re working to create an alternative path, a relationship and partnership that evolves and grows directly between the content creators and curators on one side, and the global audience on the other. — Jason Tyrrell, VP of Content for SingularDTV
