If you could redesign the film industry into the best possible system for the artists, the audience, and the business, what would it look like?

On May 28th, Ted Hope, CEO of Fandor, along with Reinventors, and a group of industry luminaries, started a will answer that very six-part interactive web series called Reinvent Hollywood.

With the advent of low-cost digital production and post-production technology, the tools to create and distribute both short and long-form filmed entertainment have never been more accessible, and yet the Hollywood power structure continues to rely on an antiquated methodology of finding and presenting this entertainment to the world.

But what does this mean for the status quo in the film industry? How can those interested parties, the artists and the audiences, work with the distributors and the rest of the existing power structure to affect these changes and create a bigger tent, helping the industry as a whole move forward? That’s what Reinvent Hollywood will answer.

“Fandor’s mission is to help build the world’s film community through the advancement and preservation of film art and culture. When good movies go unseen, talented filmmakers cannot support themselves and our government is not defending Net Neutrality, it is time to demand change.”said Hope

Hope and a team of industry experts will discuss the state of the film industry throughout this six-part series streamed live on Reinventors.net. A recording of each episode will be available the following day on the fandor website.

The series is divided into six episodes, with each part focused on a topic that addresses the larger issue at hand – the future of film. The topics for each of the six episodes are: The Form, The Artists, The Audience, The Business, The Festivals, Schools, and Non-Profits, and The Rules of the Game.

The first topic to be discussed in-depth and to kick off the series is The Form and launched on May 28th. This epsiode is focused on what will follow as feature film loses its dominant position with transitions from theatrical to online play, long to short form, celluloid to digital.

Hosted by award-winning independent producer and film industry advocate, Ted Hope, the lineup of experts participating in the first roundtable on The Form is:

Liz Rosenthal, Founder & CEO of Power to the Pixel

Karim Ahmad, Senior Digital Content Strategist at ITVS

Lance Weiler, Writer, Director, Experience Designer

Michel Reilhac, Story architect, experience designer

Peter Leyden, Founder of Reinventors

Fandor and Reinventors are also asking you to do your part as the audience. For each episode, Hope will be joined not only by a team of experts in the field, but also by you, the general public. You can join the conversation for each episode via Google Hangout, along with Hope and his ever-growing list of industry experts as we all collectively move Hollywood forward.
