STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
As the powerhouse streamers continue to grow and diversify their repertoire, what does this mean for the traditional studios? Theatrical releases are in full effect around the world, but how does this continued expansion of easily accessible streaming services on devices affect the future of the traditional theatrical releases…will it ever be the same again?
We will touch on the big shift in the definition of “Independent” and how the budgets have skyrocketed. We can thank the streamers for allowing more people to engage with Documentaries, Films and Series…especially international local language content!
