And, you know, Timothee Chalamet grew up in New York City around a lot of playwrights.
There's
Michael B. Jordan, who worked very hard to get to where he is, had this early break on Friday Night Lights.
And so the ability for them in their late 20s, 30s to then say, I'm going to focus squarely on this, comes from a place of kind of proven talent.
I think if you are, I think about Steven Spielberg saying, if you're a young kid with access to an iPhone, just start uploading.
Like, you might as well just start shooting and trying to find things that way.
Totally.
And it's funny that the film system is coming into this now, because if you look at the TV system, if you look at Broad City, if you look at high maintenance, if you look at Insecure, I mean, like Issa Rae, Abby Jacobson, Alana Glazer, Ben Sinclair, who did high maintenance, all of them came from Vimeo YouTube.
They were all producing for the web.
And then people like Amy Poehler or people like Casey Bloys at HBO said, these are great.
And we think these can work as extended TV shows.
And so now I think you're looking at Hollywood studios saying, okay, well, we weren't seeing full feature films necessarily on YouTube that we think could convert to a theatrical release in 4,500 theaters.
But we are seeing talent producing.
who has expressed interest in doing that, who we then look at the script, we go through the traditional process of greenlighting a project and say, okay, also, if we can convert 20% of these 2 million subscribers into theater goers, we might have an ability to kind of bring back those younger audiences to theaters.
We've shown what we're capable of.
Now let's keep up the push through the midterms.
You know, when things just align perfectly and it creates this moment of true – I don't want to use the term innovation because it's almost a return to what is work, but it creates this moment of real opportunity.
I think at the same time that younger audiences who spend a lot of their time on their phones and watching YouTube at home –
want to be a part of these communal experiences around this shared universe or shared love that they have, happened at the exact same time that exhibitors were like, look, Grogu's not working.
We don't know what's going to be working for us anymore.
