Love this Sam! As I’ve been diving into a more public phase of High Concept I’ve been thinking like a content creator on the marketing and distribution side— iterating and sharing as I start to bring our proof of concept projects to life and find our audience before we shoot.
As a filmmaker who always kept things precious waiting for that perfect pitch opportunity its been very gratifying; I’m only adding more depth to the world of my projects, really getting to know them and they seem to be more naturally progressing to next steps!
"Networks and streamers choose these shows because the cost is low, they lean into extremes (biting satire on one end, earnest uplift on the other), and they inspire active, loud engagement. This is the opposite of the traditional family or office sitcom, which allowed for a more passive viewing experience, with comedy that played toward the middle. So I think the future of this type of television depends on the reconsideration of that other factor.."
SO smart, Sam. And your answer about YouTube is equally adroit. And yeah, it's that good. I used the word "adroit," to describe it. I was just in a meeting discussing this very idea of YouTube. How it stacks up against Netflix in how it pays its successful creators.
This is such an informative post. I am based in the UK and although it’s not exactly the same, it is very similar. Most people don’t watch TV live anymore it’s either on streaming or a catch up platform. I know it’s convenient, but I miss the days of gathering around the TV to watch the next episode of a series altogether. Something that used to be quite social has now become very solitary.
