Full Transcript for How AI Filmmakers Reach Mainstream TV | Colin Petrie-Norris, Fairground

AI, sometimes a lot of AI, sometimes just a little bit, telling the story that they love, and then we are getting that distributed on major TV services. 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:54.480 And we've we we have distribution of individual movies, and now we also have our 24-7 live streaming channels available all around the right now, North America. 00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:02.959 And so it is it's an exciting mix of this thing which is undeniable in terms of like this impact on the entertainment world. 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:11.120 So that's bridging the divide between that idea in your head, that story you wanted to tell, and getting you on television, and hopefully making some real money out of it as well. 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.560 So that's the idea. 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:13.279 Wonderful. 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.480 Thank you for that background. 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:31.920 And as you were talking, I was just reflecting on my own personal experience as a consumer of entertainment and how I've seen this progress from you know, renting and going to Blockbuster to the streaming world, which you have been very early on in. 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.879 And now we're at this next iteration where people are constantly online. 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.160 We want 24-7, we're on YouTube, we're on these streaming services. 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:49.920 So yeah, I'm just excited to hear about all the work that you're doing with everything that you've launched at Fairground. 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.879 You have some exciting stuff that just launched this late summer. 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.800 First, I would love to hear how you use AI personally. 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:05.759 And this can even be, you know, as a CEO of your company, but how are you using it most powerfully? 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.959 Where has it really created momentum for you personally? 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:16.959 You know, one of the fun things about being a new startup in this new world we're in is you get to try everything. 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.519 You you can dip into and out of all the the hundreds of tools. 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:31.439 And so the first thing is I encourage my well, I hold myself to that and I encourage my team to look around, try things, try services, learn, learn, learn. 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:38.000 Because as you know, sort of try to get that understanding of what with this world we're living in is is half the challenge. 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:45.920 It's also there's this blend that that I find fascinating is that you can't vibe code everything, you can't do everything. 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:51.199 There's almost infinite ideation that's possible, but execution is really still matters. 00:06:51.519 --> 00:07:02.399 I love the blend between the rapid fire, coming up with new ideas and concepts, but the oldest skill in the book, you have to deliver and get things done. 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:17.839 And you know that you tend to be flitty, you can you flight, you move on one idea to the next, but having the discipline to sort of sign up creators, take care of their needs, listen to their problems, make sure that the platforms are getting the quality they want. 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.240 There's a certain amount of like real hardcore, just old-fashioned delivery that has to be happening in the middle of the store. 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.759 So it's it's it's this blend. 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:39.279 And so I like I find we can redo things a lot quicker, we can move a lot faster, but also it really also highlights the fact that without folks really being involved and customers involved, it's just a theoretical point of view. 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:52.000 Yeah, it sounds like it's really helping you secure that pipeline that you so crucially support your creators with between mainstream TV audiences and the work that they're producing as filmmakers. 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.120 So maybe we can just dive into that space. 00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:07.600 Like, what are you paying attention to right now as AI-made entertainment is really starting to churn and be put out there in a way where you can create a whole network where it's sustained for 24-7. 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:12.399 I'd love to just get your insight on the industry right now and where it's headed. 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:17.839 We at Fairground already focus on that long-form narrative-based programming, as I mentioned. 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.240 It's sort of that big screen TV. 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:25.360 There's a lot of companies out there looking at microdramas, short form social media. 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:31.759 But this is this is a an incredible world where great stories matter a great deal. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:41.039 And what we're seeing is that there's it's gone now with thousands of creators learning how to make long-form entertainment. 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:50.080 And you know, you used to be you couldn't get character consistency, you couldn't have the same face or character from the beginning of a movie, or and even 15 minutes later have it the same. 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:59.360 That is all solved now, and people can focus on how to like use the old classic storytelling, hero's journey, and how to keep you like keep your attention. 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:11.440 And so the trend I'm seeing, the one I'm most excited about, are creators starting to now just not do something just because it looks cool, but actually talk about the story and sort of find that human connection. 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:20.720 And we're seeing creators making episodes, series, like 15-minute shows that come out once a month, a new show, and so on, to sort of build characters and so on. 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.399 Like, and I think that is that's the most interesting thing that's going on at the moment. 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.360 Thank you so much for sharing a bit more on that. 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:44.879 That is

a perfect segue to my next question because AI is making film cheaper to produce and at the same time, streaming has made distribution significantly easier, especially to the creators and members in your space. 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:59.519 So if you could just touch on that delicacy, when things become cheaper to produce and quicker and easier to bring into streaming, you know, what becomes more valuable? 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.960 Are you are we more of curators in that space? 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.799 Are we just adding more noise? 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.679 Like where does the selection start to play in? 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:17.039 I you touched just a bit now on the true art of storytelling and really fine-tuning and building that muscle for long-form content. 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:23.840 So yeah, how how are you curating what gets to debut on the the TV station? 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.000 Well, so there so not everything being made is appropriate for television, Brock. 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:43.039 As you I'm sure you would agree, you know, this it is a wonderful, powerful sort of opportunity with thousands of people can make things, but there's um an obligations that you have to take on your shoulders when you're on television. 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000 So it has to be uh safe and appropriate. 00:10:46.480 --> 00:11:03.440 It has to be appropriate content, needs to be safe for advertising, it needs to have a good narrative, a good story, needs to be of good quality, it needs to have closed captioning, it needs to have metadata for search, it needs all of these qualities, some visible, some invisible, that make it TV ready. 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:10.639 And so that is sort of number one, just from a purely technical point of view, there is a natural filtering that has to happen. 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:22.480 We do take a lot of content on board and then get the information back to the creators to help them learn how to make and we we with our platform are trying to add services to make it improve their chances. 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:29.600 When it comes to the actual consumption side, the appetite by these platforms for content is enormous. 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.200 And I I like this idea. 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:41.360 I don't Brooke, I think you uh I like to talk about it when you listen to your favorite music on Spotify or Apple Music, there's something nice about listening to your favorite things again and again. 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:48.480 You know, I I will listen to Soft Self, Tainted Love, sorry, sorry to date myself. 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.559 I'll just listen to it because it makes me feel good as nostalgia, right? 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.120 Something different happens with video. 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.039 You really don't what you really watch the same thing twice. 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.120 There are some movies which I love to watch again and again, but every five or seven years. 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:10.639 The human brain craves new things, it is it's searching and exploring for ideas and stories. 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.679 That gives me a lot of optimism about this. 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:24.240 It's sort of bringing even to something like the rise like creator economy used to be this thing that a few kind of quirky folks did on YouTube. 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:29.519 It was sort of uh you people used to fry look down on YouTube and be like us dogs on skateboards. 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.679 Fast forward today, creators are making mainstream entertainment. 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.000 And so I think the same thing is going to happen. 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:49.039 These filmmakers, the the the the interest in new things, uh the the search for stories from all over the world, uh and just the human need to see new things makes this really, really a powerful combination. 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:59.120 So so I feel like we're very I think this is a great journey ahead of us as this as these creators from all over the world start uh connecting with these streaming TV companies. 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:04.639 It is so interesting that I have a sister who's about nine years younger than me. 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.879 So she's Gen Z. 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.039 And the way that they consume content is so different. 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.759 It's almost like it's always on, it's in the background, it's a little bit more casual. 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:27.440 And I've even read about how people are creating storylines and plots that are easy to follow because people are on multiple devices at once while they're watching TV. 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.720 Can you touch on that? 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:44.080 I've heard stories about how you've had to redesign how plots work in movies, that you've got to drop little moments every like hooks every few minutes just to keep pulling somebody back their eyes from the smone back up to the big screen TV. 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.320 And so no doubt the world has changed. 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:56.159 And to I don't think I watched uh 2001 as Space Odyssey, that whole movie recently, great, also AI thing in that as well, right? 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.320 But that's slow-paced movies, just you don't see those anymore. 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.759 Like the world has changed. 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.559 No, but but here's the cool thing with this world that I'm operating in is it's a data-rich environment. 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.639 You can see what works and what doesn't. 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.679 And the creators can go, oh, you know what? 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.039 Everybody dropped out of my movie three-quarters of the way through. 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.720 How do I improve this to avoid that the next time? 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:27.600 And so, what I believe, Brooke, is what's going to happen is because creators can make things so quickly, they can react to

the data. 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:33.360 You will see a machining, a creation, I think, of entirely new forms of entertainment. 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:38.879 This isn't something that you go produce and it takes a year to film and everything else, and then you come and deliver it. 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.559 There's a vibrance to it. 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.279 And I say, Yeah, we're just in the first innings. 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:51.919 I don't know where this goes, but I just love the fact of thousands of creators going, here's what's working, and they and they look at it and go, how do I do better? 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.200 And watch what happens two years from now. 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.600 I think it's going to be amazing to see what comes out of it. 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.799 So yeah, I'm I'm I'm again, I'm I see, I think you're right. 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:06.399 The the the the world needs to evolve, and I think this is the right sort of medium or format to do it in. 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:15.360 After more than 15 years of marketing, here's what gets my attention: spending less time manually pulling client reports and more time actually servicing accounts. 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.600 OmniSend is an email and text marketing platform for e-commerce brands. 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:28.000 And I'm so excited to partner with them on this sponsored series to show you a much faster way to monitor and improve your marketing campaigns. 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:36.799 LLMs are limited on their own, but when you connect your OmniSend account directly to ChatGBT or Claude, you unlock a whole new layer of marketing. 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:46.080 Once you connect to OmniSen, you can analyze your account directly inside, giving you the information you need without exporting reports or copying data between tools. 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.919 Say you're running an online store. 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.919 You can ask specific things like give me a monthly summary I can share with my team, or highlight what worked this month. 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.919 How did this month compare to last? 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.559 And what do we need to focus on as a team next? 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.279 You can prompt it to find underperforming areas and suggest action items for the week. 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.799 So you can move from reviewing and reporting to taking action. 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:16.080 If you run a small business or run a lean marketing team managing multiple client accounts, this is where AI becomes useful, far beyond drafting emails. 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.279 More than 150,000 brands use OmniSend. 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:24.320 Learn more and how to connect your account through my link in the show notes below. 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:33.440 That's so fascinating that you have all these data points that you can track now. 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.519 It's almost like real-time film school. 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.480 Kind of these are programmers, these are folks that are used to data. 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.679 And watch out. 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:51.360 When when you give somebody very talented, a good talented creative, you know, access to sort of real-time feedback, and you give them a bit of a paycheck and you're like, do that again. 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.720 It's a it's just an engine of creative spirit that's going to become deployed into this into this area. 00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:57.759 So cool. 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:04.160 Can you talk about the overall Hollywood and the democratization of being a filmmaker? 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:13.359 You know, in the past you really had to wait around and hope and wait and make the right connection and then have the bright budget, and it could take years and years. 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.119 So you've lived through streaming really changing the industry. 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:26.079 What feels different about this AI shift and how it's changing the traditional Hollywood gatekeeping to getting your products made and out into the world? 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:34.319 Yeah, look, I I I do know and I respect the unease that people feel with this big change that's coming on. 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.279 And I don't pretend to have all the answers for that. 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:44.400 However, there's a point of view that said if you look at what podcasting did, right? 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.359 It used to have to cost a lot of money beyond cable TV to have a talk show. 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.839 And you'd have a team of 50 people running the show. 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:59.599 Now you can, with your in your living room, like yourself, you can run it, you can tell people your mind, you can build an audience, and you can build a podcast. 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:07.680 And that has created this powerful new way for folks to have what used to be what cable TV had to do for you 15 years ago, 10 years ago. 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.160 The same thing I believe to be true with AI and filmmaking. 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.599 There is no studio that has to sign off on your project anymore. 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.680 You don't have to go raise money for it. 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:26.640 You can build the thing that you're passionate about, but you need people like Fairground that can get you straight to the screen so that it's got a place to live. 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:41.119 And I think as the distribution world starts opening up and these streamers, streaming companies start connecting with, I'm gonna call them the AA movie, like kind of podcaster type of people, that's what's gonna start people. 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:41.920 Well, you know what? 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.759 I don't need somebody to tell me what to do. 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.799 I can make the thing I want and I can have an audience for it. 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:54.640 So I think that's in a way akin to a podcasting

affected in like a news and narrative-based sort of feature programming. 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.920 I think this is gonna allow and like no gatekeepers is the way I look at it from for entertainment. 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:07.680 Exciting times, you know, it's probably the reason why I read your creator community grew 50% just in one month. 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:13.359 And I'm curious, what does it take to apply to be a creator with the fairground community? 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:20.559 Um, and if you can touch on just some of the production tools and partnerships that are available to them when they join. 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:27.599 Yeah, so it's very easy to set up an account and upload your first movie. 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.279 You can do it in just little five minutes. 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:36.000 We go to uh portal.fairground.tv, you've got your work, you sign up and you put your movie into the ecosystem. 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:48.079 From there, it needs to go through reviews and we're we're using tools, some we've built ourselves, some we partner with to augment and make and enrich their movies, get them ready for programming. 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.680 And then the there's there's a selection that's made and sent into the channel. 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:59.279 We're gonna have 500, 600 creators this month showing off their work in our channel, and that is gonna grow. 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.240 And it's gonna grow. 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:12.640 We just launched six to seven weeks ago, and there's opportunity for thousands of creators, tens of thousands of creators to participate, even more if we're bringing on more distribution towards the end of the year in addition to the ones we have already. 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.319 So it's very easy. 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:19.519 And the the good news is we're not asking for any rights, we're not asking for exclusivity. 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.279 You put your movie up there. 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.920 If you love what you see, you keep it there. 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.400 If you don't, you take it away and go somewhere else. 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:32.079 We're not asking for any like we're not trying to hold you, we're trying to be very creator and movie maker friendly. 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.480 Wow. 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:42.079 And we've got such wonderful tools now available and more coming between now and the end of the year, which will just be so hopefully make your job as a filmmaker just easier and easier. 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:48.000 Um, but also, Brooke, the most important thing too is we want to make sure people are getting earning fairly. 00:20:48.319 --> 00:21:05.119 Because for me, if I can get that creator that's maybe doing this part-time, if I can get them a few extra hundred dollars, a few extra thousand dollars, and just to maybe be the difference between going full-time like part-time to full-time, that's when I think the content really starts to get even greater and even better. 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.240 So that's the other part of what we're trying to do for creators. 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:09.599 That's wonderful. 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.160 And I should probably have already known the answer to this. 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.160 But is fairground TV free? 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.519 Or how do you get to watch all of these coolers? 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.240 You can go, yes, it's free to watch. 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:29.440 If you you can go to your Roku TV, LG TV, Zumo, Comcast, Amazon Prime Video. 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:34.319 You can just look for Fairground TV or search for it, and the channels there free for you to watch. 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.519 There's online desktop versions of all of those services. 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.720 You can watch them too. 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.839 And so there's no charge, you can be enjoying it in three minutes from now. 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.839 You can also go to our website and just see some of the samples of what's available. 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:57.279 Like we've got some of the best of there on our watch page, just to give you an idea of the type of programming that's coming out and what these incredible talents are making right now with the tools at their disposal. 00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.200 So there's a lot of different ways to get hold of it. 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:01.759 And we're going to be And more come in, more and more come in. 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.640 We've got a very busy last bit of the year ahead of us. 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:12.720 And are the filmmakers exclusively leveraging AI, or do you have any just non-AI related filmmakers on the network? 00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.839 We don't say to a filmmaker, you have to use this much, this much AI. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.039 It's up to them. 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:29.279 In fact, Brooke, I I would maintain that there are a lot of productions still done in a classic, crafted way with no use of AI. 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:35.119 But increasingly, AI is finding its way just a little bit into a production. 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.440 Sometimes mostly AI. 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.039 Some creators are using human voiceover. 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.400 They're writing, maybe they're writing the script by hand, but making everything else. 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.839 It's up to the creator. 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.640 And so, yes, we largely find films with AI, but you know, you can green screen, you can have voice, you can do all the things that you want. 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.839 You must make sure you've got all the rights in place because this is television. 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.960 If you're contracting, you're going to make sure it's all done by the book. 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.359 But it's the fun thing is it's all manner of different combinations of it. 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.079 Do you think there's a future where we

we have to disclose if something was made with AI? 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:14.799 Or do you think audiences will care whether something was made with AI if they truly love the story? 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.000 What have you seen when it comes to the consumerism? 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:31.440 Yeah, so we prefer to say this is made with AI right on the front, because I think I'd love an audience to be surprised to the upside and be like, okay, yes, I you're telling me this is AI. 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:37.279 I'm not trying to be like on social media and sneak something in with AI into a world that you think is real. 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.920 That feels kind of cheeky to me. 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.400 We're saying made with AI, come and be delighted and be surprised. 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:50.319 And look, three years from now, five years from now, do you even will that be even a thing you have to disclose? 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:56.000 We believe you should still tell people how it was made, but it could well be we're just in a moment in time. 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.000 Brooke, there's one other thing too. 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:06.640 I tell a story and my team are so bored of it, but there's like I say, when you know, when when radio first arrived, they read out vaudeville theater because that's what you did. 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.920 When television arrived, they started biting soap operas because that's what you listen to on the radio. 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.559 We're in a moment right now where AI is kind of doing what Hollywood did. 00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.640 The movies feel and look and feel a little bit like what you have been made before. 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:28.240 But wait to see what happens when people start figuring out you things you can do with AI that you couldn't do in a traditional studio. 00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.559 New formats of programming entertainment that you couldn't. 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:40.000 Can you imagine watching shows where you and your friend are watching the show and it's different weather conditions in the show at the same time? 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:46.400 Imagine being able to converse with the characters or input or make suggestions and a change shape in real time. 00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.599 You know, what about shows which are personalized? 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.039 Like, this is where we're now gonna start going. 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.839 And that also I think will cause a breakthrough from audience perception. 00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:00.799 Like, goodness me, that is something I couldn't get before. 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.920 I think that's maybe when the world starts to change a little bit as well. 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:11.680 So we're thinking a lot about that and how you can take these incredible, talented, bright creators and have them do new things, not just make the old things. 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.200 That's so exciting. 00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:18.079

And do you have any type of festival or award system? 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:24.880 Or how are these new sectors of professionals getting accolades? 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.359 I know that's a really big part of the industry. 00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:33.599 We believe every video that comes to us, any show, we put the creator's name at the front of it. 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.079 We're just sort of the assistant, but we want the creators to be famous. 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.240 So when you go on TV, sure it's a fairground channel, but it's the creator's name at the front of the show and the credits. 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.039 With their social media handles, you can go check more out. 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.359 That's something we believe in and will always believe in, is putting their name out first. 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.200 We do prizes, competitions. 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.880 If you sign up in the portal, you'll be you're exposed to some of that. 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:04.559 We partner with other competitions, we partner with film festivals, and we're working on something a little bit of a celebration of our own early next year. 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.759 Yes, we're like again, it's like we're trying to make these folks famous. 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.519 That's the that's the way to go. 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.119 Such incredible work, really on the forefront of the creator space right now. 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.319 So I can't thank you enough for your time today, Colin. 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:26.559 I always like to leave space at the end if there's one main takeaway that we didn't get a chance to touch on today that you'd like to leave listeners with. 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:27.680 The floor is open. 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:41.839 I think what many people don't understand when they see this type of like shows, the humans involved, the craft, the pain, the difficulty, the struggle of making a really good show. 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.920 I think the assumption is it's just you type in a show idea into a prompt and you it spits it out. 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.599 There are the most incredible. 00:26:49.839 --> 00:27:00.160 There's the community here, the people, we've got creators who one guy, he's a security guard in a casino, but he's making movies which will blow your mind. 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:07.119 Like there are people behind all of this stuff, and we want to we really have to work harder to tell their stories. 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:13.200 But that is what's fascinating is there is a very human end element to this artificial title. 00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.279 And so I think that's a beautiful combination. 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:28.400 And look at that, we've got a lot of work to do, a lot of lessons to learn, but the people behind the aid and the people inside this system are incredible, just the most positive, nicest, friendliest folks you could ever imagine. 00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:34.319 So Jagger, you know, Jagger is one of them, one of the creators, like just the nicest folks involved here. 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.000 So I'm very grateful to all of them. 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:42.240 Yes, for listeners on the show, Jagger was on the end of last season one of the podcast. 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.359 So check it out for the cool work that she's doing. 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:53.039 I will be sure to link out everything in the show notes so people can jump in and check out Fairground TV today. 00:27:53.119 --> 00:28:10.720 And we didn't really touch on the tension of people that are maybe you know worried about the industry, but I think that it's both and I think that this new sector can exist alongside old traditional ways of making film and media. 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:21.200 And to your point, that someone that is a security guard can now have this creative outlet on the side of this passion project and is making really meaningful work in the creator space. 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.640 So my feedback and interpretation I wanted to share there. 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.759 So thank you so much again, Colin, for your time today. 00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:29.200 You've been very kind, Brooke. 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.400 Lovely talking to you today. 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.960 Thank you so much. 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:31.680 Take care. 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:36.480 If this conversation sparked something for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.160 And if you're loving the show, a rating or review means everything. 00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.000 Want to partner with us or bring the AI movement to your next event?
