The place to discuss, share content and offer tips and advice to OTT - "Over the Top" streaming and Transmedia – the technique of telling a single story or story across multiple platforms including, but not limited to, games, books, events, films and television.
This year's Olympics will be everywhere all at once. On TV, digital, social, huge advertising, sharing and reediting of videos... even Snoop in the house! It's a total transmedia event. And I can't wait to see breakdancing as a sport. Will you be watching and, if so, what are you excited to see? htt...

What do you think of Disney's first ever R-rated film getting a theme park exhibit? https://ew.com/disneyland-deadpool-experience-first-r-rated-movie-8682211...
Expand post
I'm actually excited about it. Disney has such a massive adult fan base, I don't think it's a bad thing for there to be something at the park geared toward that audience. Families and kids will still have all of the other attractions to enjoy together.
Excellent marketing for Deadpool & Wolverine, Sam Sokolow!
There are whispers that it may leave San Diego but it's great to see Comic-Con back in all of its glory. It's a wild experience. Is anyone attending Comic-Con this year and, if so, what are you most excited about? https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/comic-con-preview-leave-san-diego-12360......

I wish, Sam Sokolow! I LOVE Comic Con. I'm going to miss it. But I can't wait to hear all of the updates from those who do attend it.
The union is defending it's members on all fronts right now. Video games have long been the Wild West and the revenue is otherworldy - I hope this is a big win for actors. What are your thoughts on this? https://deadline.com/2024/07/sag-aftra-strike-video-game-companies-12360......

I don't want there to be a work stoppage, Sam Sokolow, but I hope SAG-AFTRA gets a fair deal for its members.
Narration: THE MORBID SEVEN RISE AGAIN
I am not sure if I am posting this request in the correct lounge, or should it be as a DM?
I need an idea of cost for a proper narration. I will need to recover the money from the podcaster in exchange for me passing the copyright either for just the novel or bo...

This makes interesting reading. I’ve never really thought about Streamer subscription reaching a saturation point.

Oh ok, Geoff Hall. I thought you meant a spec screenplay that you're trying to sell. Hope you sell your film for millions so you can use it all on streaming! Seriously, I hope you sell your film!...

You're welcome, Geoff Hall. I can't think of any filmmakers off the top of my head, but if I do think of any or if I meet any, I'll let you know.
Maurice Vaughan thanks, Maurice.
You're welcome, Geoff Hall.
I found this interesting. The success of Blumhouse has seemingly been its focus on horror but the gaming world is more broad. I found this article interesting, What do you think? https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/blumhouse-games-new-titles-cozy-ho......

I think it's smart that Blumhouse is going to be catering to other fan bases, Sam Sokolow. More profits and more people knowing about Blumhouse.
Maurice Vaughan I wonder if A24 are watching this and thinking about a similar strategy?
I'm sure A24 is watching this, Geoff Hall. A24 could follow a similar strategy. They make movies in other genres, so they already know how to cater to other fan bases.
The industry is pointing up. Ad sales are pointing up. And games and gaming remain juggernauts. What are your thoughts? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/global-cinema-r......

Sam Sokolow I suppose we should expect ad revenue to have a higher rate of increase than theatrical? It’s interesting that it will take till 2026 for theatrical to make a full recovery.

I’ve not come across cult director Chandrasekhar Yeleti & his films sound interesting so will now check them out. I reckon OTT is Over The Top as in Tv/Film services to laptop.
Sam Sokolow I've not heard of this dude, Sam and see what effect he has on the world of OTT. I can see that his work would appeal to British Indians, so may gain traction over here....
