Who's Running Hollywood Now?

Our host Crystal Echo Hawk is joined by Bing Chen, Azie Dungey/, Kamala Avila-Salmon, and comedian Jana Schmieding to discuss the current (and future) state of Hollywood and the Entertainment industry. Tech giants and psychotic CEOs have upended the traditional Hollywood system and are frantically gobbling up legacy media studios, sending shockwaves through the entire industry. Jobs are scarce, profits are enormous, and AI is a looming threat to everyone and everything in its path. Where do we go from here? And how does this end well for writers, producers, and Creatives who are looking to make a living -- or even get a foothold -- in the modern entertainment industry? Is Hollywood already dead?

Legacy Media vs. The Algorithm

Traditional media has been replaced by social media. Journalists, news anchors and reporters are now competing with influencers and Creators -- the new journalists -- who are delivering news and current events in a quicker, more responsive, and more authentic way than traditional news and media outlets. So what does this mean for accuracy and the truth in an increasingly fake news world? If everyone can share their POV on news stories instantly, how can we differentiate fact from opinion?
