In this episode of The Hollywood Makers, we bring you the stories shaping how creators, companies, and code are rewriting the rules of entertainment. This week, host Claudia Cano-Asbjornsen breaks down four shifts that show just how fast the industry is evolving and what’s at stake.
From the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the political firestorm surrounding it, to Netflix’s quiet leap into generative-AI VFX, Claudia unpacks the moments that matter. She also spotlights indie filmmakers like Samir Mallal using AI to craft entire films without actors or crews, and reveals how the streaming wars are mutating into bundled alliances that echo the old cable era ...but smarter.
If you're tracking the collision of creativity, technology, and business in storytelling, this one’s for you. Episode Highlights:
The cultural and political fallout of The Late Show's end
Netflix’s first fully AI-generated scene, and what it means for production
AI-powered indie filmmaking: The rise of prompt-to-production
