ICYMI - More People Are Making Movies Than Ever Before
Description
Big Hollywood is back, with 70 millimetre releases selling out theatres weeks ahead of opening weekend. Mohit Rajhans of http://Thinkstart.ca connects that comeback to something happening at the exact same time, a wave of first-time filmmakers using AI and new technology to tell stories without a traditional production budget.
Mohit walks through how theatres are testing new pricing and programming to rebuild the sense of community around moviegoing, and why Canada's role as a global production hub puts it in a strong position as the industry shifts. There's also a genuinely fun idea for turning the theatre lobby back into a gathering place for people who just want to talk about what they watched.
The throughline is an industry with more room in it, not less.
Topics: film industry technology, movie theatre pricing, AI filmmaking, community cinema, Canadian film industry
