We are going to try something different here.
From time to time, I interview founders to share their journeys. They talk about their origin story, company growth trajectory, and generally offer actionable opportunities to get involved.
This will primarily be through investment, partnership, or employment.
Today, I'm moderating another Q&A session, and I'm excited to open it up to Emerging LA!
(Donāt worry, if you sign up but canāt attend live, Iāll make sure you get a video recording š)
I think you'll like this one for the same reasons I do!
It checks all three boxes of the types of interviews I believe are most relevant:
The company is based in Los Angeles
The founder is from Los Angeles
They are disrupting a local industry
Filmhub is redefining film & TV distribution
Tomorrow morning, I will interview Alan d'Escragnolle, the founder and CEO of Filmhub, a company redefining how film and TV content is distributed in the $675 billion global entertainment market.
Filmhub has built a technology-first distribution platform that automates the traditionally manual, pen-and-paper world of content licensing. This will unlock billions in untapped revenue for both rights holders and distribution platforms.
Filmmakers don't have to give up their rights to do this.
Filmhub finds films and shows, and its team tries to get them shown on over 120 platforms, like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. The platform also takes care of sending the films and handling payments automatically.
Fast Company recognized Filmhub as one of 2025ās Most Innovative Companies (in Media & News).
Distribution company Filmhub offers filmmakers a new conduit to connect with potential licenseesāincluding Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Tubi, and many moreāwithout sacrificing the rights to their work.
