If we could redesign the film industry into the best possible system for the artists, the audience and the business, what would it look like?


Series Host
Ted Hope
Veteran Producer and former Fandor CEO
The Reinvent Hollywood series will take place over six virtual roundtables held every two weeks over three months. We will use the new medium of group video to bring together some of the smartest, most knowledgeable, most innovative people inside and outside the film industry to help think through how we can take advantage of the new tools and approaches of today to build a motion picture industry that will be better tomorrow.
The entire series will be open to anyone to watch live or asynchronously in edited form. We will not rely just on the brainpower of the 50 or so people in the video roundtables but there will be ways for the audience to add their ideas too.
