James DeJulio, Tongal // Future of Hollywood & Advertising, Impact of AI on Creative Work & Who Wins The Streaming Wars?

The  movie 'Alien' turned 40 last week, and to celebrate, Fox partnered with the creator platform Tongal to find six young filmmakers to create short video projects around the iconic film franchise. The results have been popping up the last few weeks, and on May 3, arrive on AlienUniverse.com and social media (under the handle @AlienAnthology) for further viewing. I talked with Tongal founder and CEO James DeJulio about how his decade-old Santa Monica-based company surfaced hundreds of proposals for the six Alien films through a community of 170,000 creators. In all, he said,  more than 1,000 of those creators had a part in creating one or another of the shorts. Tongal and platforms like it are  one way brands and agencies are tapping into new creators and creative ideas at a time when the demand for content and options for marketing and distribution is ever-accelerating.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/davidlbloom/support

Short Films on Alien's 40th Anniversary and Tongal CEO James DeJulio

James DeJulio is the Co-Founder &amp; CEO of Tongal, a global community of creators that develops video content for networks, studios, and brands. Prior to launching Tongal, James was an executive at How2TV, The Robert Evans Company / Paramount, and Half Shell Entertainment.In this episode, we explore the changing nature of the entertainment landscape. James argues that the traditional Hollywood model is outdated, which has led to fewer films being produced, a greater reliance on sequels built around major franchises, and a risk aversion that prohibits creativity and experimentation. As a result, James and his partners launched Tongal to provide opportunities for talented but undiscovered creatives and produce high quality content at a lower cost than traditional studios. We also discuss Disney’s big bet on streaming media, the continuing arms race for big Hollywood talent, and the ongoing negotiations between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Association of Talent Agents (ATA). Finally, we highlight how toy companies have embraced digital media to reinvent their brands and Amazon’s ability to influence consumer action from show to shelf.Host: James CreechABOUT THE SHOWAll Things Video is a podcast dedicated to uncovering the past and charting the future of the online video ecosystem.
