The document discusses how the traditional business model for film financing and distribution is broken, as it relies on uncertain festival sales and revenue sharing agreements that often provide little financial return. It argues for new multi-modal and multi-platform business practices that embrace disruptive technologies and better engage audiences through data and participation. The focus should be on creativity, marketing, and deal-making to invent new models that better serve creators and audiences.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- First things first, we have to realize that the model is broken - pretty much all the business models for film have changed dramatically if they haven&#x2019;t broken all together
- the usual model is completely broken
- hard to make money, make a living
- yet still, films were made. Well, the first thing you have to realize is that digital has been a disruptive innovation on the field. it completely transforms everything we do. music biz example, trouble embracing the new so lose out to upstarts and smart outside competitors
- But more importantly, it has also exposed many a bad business model - let&#x2019;s face it, film has always been a bad business subsidised by governments or the new clueless investor or family member with money. It has rolled back the tide on many bad business models and changed them fundamentally. also, these behaviors aren&#x2019;t new - but what people wanted to do all along
- we can&#x2019;t operate in an analogue world anymore - the single biggest problem facing the industry is that so many people want to think that his is a cycle that will pass, that things will go back to normal, that digital is the same as analogue and we can adapt it to our existing models
- but it&#x2019;s a fundamental shift and we&#x2019;re ill-fitted to the task if we try to cram digital economies into our old way of thinking
- we&#x2019;re in a whole new paradigm and business models are changing overnight in every industry. think about it, newspaper advertising and classifieds were a multi billion dollar industry and craigslist came along and tidied that up into one profitable 100 million company. the changes here will be just as profound
- But we need to step back and look at a 50,000 ft level at what has changed Indeed the very notion of value has changed.
- in the old world, the business was built on scarcity, but today we have ubiquity
- what matters is my attention
- and engaging me, and keeping me engaged, is ever more valuable
- becoming more participatory, a conversation
- they want an authentic, true engaging experience
- it has to be convenient, immediate, because when I have things competing for my attention, I will move on
- importance of localism - huge movement, in terms of locavore, etc, but also tribe - connecting with others is sooo strong
- I also like being rewarded
- you have to engage me on multiple access points, transmedia does this, let&#x2019;s me meet on my terms, get more engaged, etc
- we like to say it&#x2019;s all about content, but it&#x2019;s really all about context - it&#x2019;s about the context built around the content, the experiences I can share, the way it is placed, etc
- data hugely important, but often not accessible to filmmakers and many aren&#x2019;t keeping it - it&#x2019;s the new oil
- There&#x2019;s an old marketing theory that says people don&#x2019;t go to store to buy a &#xBC;&#x201D; drill, but because they want a &#xBC;&#x201D; hole. don&#x2019;t go to the store to buy a hammer. They go there because they want to hang a picture, to get something done, and the hammer just helps them do it.
- I love seeing a movie in a theater, but let&#x2019;s face it &#x2013; that was a tool for Hollywood to pack as many people into one space and make money off their desire to escape. It was a tool to have a fun night out, but it was only one tool.
- these aren&#x2019;t new behaviors but what people wanted to do all along We now have new tools, and we can&#x2019;t fight it, but need to embrace them to our benefit. The audience wants to build something &#x2013; they can get your hammer for free, or you can give them a reason to buy it. They also want to interact with you in new ways, so use these tools to your advantage. People can collect around your film, watch it and interact with it in new ways now. And we have new ways of reaching them and engaging them.
- people spend money to better their lives not yours. focus on the audience, always. this is also true for your potential business partners....they aren&#x2019;t doing this because they want to help you. Even foundations and government have other motives
- so how do we monetize this stuff
- blow it up/apart, invent new methods - that is the ideal thing to do
- unfortunately, we live in reality, in a hybrid space
- shaped by certain realities
- How do we avoid sudden death?
- mix old and new models
- what does that mean? i call it multi-modal business practices, multi modal optimization
- we know about multi-platform, but each platform now might have it&#x2019;s own finance structures and partners, and some may go across multiple areas
- Different platforms
- Different platforms but think in terms of audience
- Business models, and each has subsets
- way of thinking about it
- we know less about audience than any other industry; we ignore what they tell us (not pay per use); we spend less time thinking about them; few people focus on it in plans and it is the only thing that matters
- Keep budgets low 250-500K max; raise enough to distribute and market - also, make stuff that doesn&#x2019;t suck and don&#x2019;t do sucky things
- peter dekom - creativity, deal making and marketing
- i have to re-emphasize this one
- what&#x2019;s next?
- how to contact me
