Philip Hodgetts, CEO, Intelligent Assistance

Recently, Philip Hodgetts, CEO of Intelligent Assistance, has been looking at the impact the web is having on traditional advertising for television programming. Now, he's expanded his scope to look at the problems that have to be solved before we can truly democratize production and distribution. As you might imagine, they revolve around fragmenting audiences and diminished funding. We think you'll find his comments very thought-provoking.

Stacey Parks - CEO, Film Specific Inc.

There are two reasons people get into this industry - for the love and for the money. And right now, love is a lot easier to find than money. Since no one knows distribution and funding better than Stacey Parks, CEO of Film Specific we thought we'd ask her advice on where the money is - at least, where it is right now. This week, she tells us more about the recent AFM and gives valuable advice about how to maximize your sales at markets.

Scott Gordon - CEO, Word Wizards, Inc.

Scott Gordon is CEO of Word Wizards, Inc, and is also the GV (Government Video) Expo Coordinator for TIVA-DC (Television, Internet and Video Association of DC, Inc.). This week, he gives us a sneak preview of the upcoming GV Expo panel "Meet the Government Producers," or, in layman's terms, "Where the money is in government video."
