This episode explores the partnership between Vitrina AI and Storied Media Group, focusing on their impact on the entertainment industry. The conversation highlights the importance of intellectual property and ideation in the supply chain and how Vitrina and StoryScout can expedite the process of finding and acquiring stories. The alliance also addresses producer pain points such as the lack of reliable market information and the need for innovative financing models.

Todd Hoffman: What would make your head spin, because you’re in the tech business, is this: After a meeting with a triple-A-list producer whose box office returns are over three billion dollars, we asked what his pain points were. He basically listed all the things Vitrina solves. He doesn’t know trends, he doesn’t know who’s financing what. And it would make your head spin that as cutting-edge as Hollywood is in front of the camera, they’re so technologically backward behind the scenes. That’s what’s exciting about Vitrina and StoryScout – we’re disruptors, our systems are easy to use, and they provide tremendous insights, bringing people up to date with the pace of technology in other industries.

Finally, I’ve got a place where I can easily transact without the BS agency game. Our business model actually roots for the producer instead of leveraging them to jack up prices.
