Burbank, CA- Philip Hodgetts CEO Open Television Network will be talking about the spirit of the independent producer and how to leverage the first new distribution technology for decades. A technology that bypasses the traditional gatekeepers at networks and cable channels. This creates expanded opportunities for producers and gives audiences more choice. The trends are clear: democratized production technologies and Podcast-driven digital distribution will create new program styles, financial models and ways of growing an audience. Visual entertainment delivery channels are evolving from limited possibilities, to a time of abundant opportunities. As Barry Diller said "[The Internet] means that the distribution leverage – the chokepoints – is going to evaporate." Those who understand the trends early, and learn how to manage the transition, will be the first to benefit. Our industry has already expanded as a result of democratized production; now it's time for us to benefit from easier and more affordable distribution.
