  • Hollywood has to change

    I like how they talked about Hollywood Studios needing to change their thought process on producing only big budget films.

    The Game Industry went through the same thing in the mid-2000 with AAA or nothing. Then Steam and Indie Studios changed all that (even though Studios like EA and Sony still stick to the same old formula of milking their franchises).

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Audience Is Dead. Meet the ‘Actience'. ft. Charles Melcher, Author of "The Future of Storytelling"
Q: Why did immersive storytelling not quite become the mainstream breakthrough you envisioned, and what needs to happen for wearables and AR to cross that threshold?
Melcher argues that form factors were not human-centric enough—wearables were bulky, uncomfortable, and hot for long use—and stresses the need for social, embodied experiences and more natural hardware to drive mass adoption.
Audience Is Dead. Meet the ‘Actience'. ft. Charles Melcher, Author of "The Future of Storytelling"
Q: So why don't you tell us that story? What is the story behind The Future of Storytelling and your role in it?
Melcher describes building a community around digital storytelling, turning a one-day summit into a multi-day, cross-disciplinary gathering that emphasizes participation, hands-on learning, and immersive experiences to curate the future of storytelling.
How Quilty Is Opening Hollywood's Gates ft. Simon Horsman & Daniel Wood, Quilty.app
Q: What is the Discovery Network and how does a writer actually get seen by producers?
Writers opt in to the Discovery Network, which highlights higher-scoring scripts on a leaderboard and connects them with first-look partners like Giovanni Entertainment; producers can browse and potentially option or develop scripts that score highly, creating a practical bridge between writers and buyers.
How Quilty Is Opening Hollywood's Gates ft. Simon Horsman & Daniel Wood, Quilty.app
Q: How does Quilty ensure reliability given AI limits like hallucinations and data drift?
Quilty uses a multi-model approach and a pattern departure feature to look for non-mean, non-generic patterns, glass-box reasoning to show some of the AI's assumptions, and continuous revisions with re-analyses as writers update scripts, aiming to improve alignment with market realities.
How Quilty Is Opening Hollywood's Gates ft. Simon Horsman & Daniel Wood, Quilty.app
Q: What exactly is Quilty and how does it help writers and producers?
Quilty analyzes a screenplay or treatment using multiple AI models to produce a Quilty score and a 120-150 page report that outlines a suggested path for the project, including market fit, casting considerations, and production feasibility, effectively acting as a companion that guides iteration and connects writers with potential buyers via the Discovery Network.
