Entertainment—just a game?

Like oil and water, video games and films/shows don’t usually mix well together.

It’s not a replacement for creativity.

Social video is very popular, but it’s entertainment filler.

Not every task is ideal for AI, but many can and are benefitting from it.

Horror films are good for body and mind, and maybe the soul.

TIFF and IBC, global conferences worth attending.

Films and shows should never lose that emotional connection.

Everyone enjoys watching an older film every now and then. It’s also history worth safekeeping for posterity.

Neat tools are needed to help creatives deliver fantastic films, shows.

Technology that dazzles but is not ready for prime time.

Beware—they come at a cost.

Content creation, production, distribution is in a state of flux.
