Description
The Art of Captivation...
For many industries, 2020 was the catalyst for ingenuity, and pivoting became a most valuable asset. Today's special guest, Derek Blasberg, is a master of innovation and embracing change. He holds several titles, but in his position as Head of Fashion and Beauty Partnerships at YouTube, Blasberg facilitated a dramatic shift to bring the latest fashion and beauty directly to people's homes, laptops, and cell phones in real-time. His tremendous efforts helped elevate YouTube to an international window that creates instantaneous connections. His up to the minute work extends to the Gagosian Gallery and showcasing fine art in a virtual setting. Blasberg proves time and time again that an old school industry can be on the cutting edge without sacrificing its essential anatomy and charm. Blasberg joined Wallace in a virtual conversation before an audience of SCAD students and community members as part of SCAD's ongoing Guests and Gusto program. The two explore the differences between social media platforms, how a channel can set itself up for success, and how the current fashion and beauty trajectories will continue in the near future.

Olivia Wilde: Moving The Needle... In 2019, Olivia Wilde reintroduced herself to the world. We've known her as an actress and admired her artistry in performance after performance, but through "Booksmart" we got swept away by Wilde the director. Her feature film directorial debut has been called the Gen-Z anthem and heralded as a comedy with tremendous heart. Wilde brings perspective to the modern coming of age story with undaunted energy. The film and Wilde's post credits talkback certainly transfixed and inspired the masses at the 2019 SCAD Savannah Film Festival. In this episode, Paula Wallace and Olivia Wilde discuss how women are taking on more leadership roles in the film industry, Wilde's directing style, and where she sees the industry going as more young film students enter the profession. by On Creativity with Paula Wallace
