LAFF Film Finance Conference – Keynote Address, James D. Stern (CEO, Endgame Entertainment)

“We’ve got to be willing to build a different set of muscles in this business. The way we operate has been dissected and reassembled in front of our eyes. The other day my friend Glen Bazner told me that everything we’ve learned about financing films over the last 15 years we now have to forget, which of course is uncomfortable. But it’s a window of opportunity to develop the muscles we’re going to need to dance this new dance in the coming years.”

During Q&A he talks about coming changes in storytelling because of iPhone, webisodes, etc.

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
