Renowned film producer and former Head of Movies at Amazon Studios, Ted Hope, embarks on a compelling conversation challenging the evolving role of platforms in the film industry.
With a career marked by transformative moments, including bringing Spike Lee and Jim Jarmusch to Amazon, Hope questions the pervasive influence of streaming platforms. He advocates a shift in perspective, urging the recognition of streaming as a utility rather than a determinant of content creation. An outspoken proponent of artist autonomy, Hope proposes an "Artist's Bill of Rights", envisioning a future where creators maintain control over their works and revenues across diverse creative landscapes.
