The global reach of social media is essential to the media business but content owners are at the mercy of Big Tech and vulnerable to the algorithm, execs told @rtsmedia.bsky.social www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/New...

How far you would go for love? “It’s usually framed positively, but I wanted to ask, can love go too far?” explains writer-director Scott Talbot www.red.com/stories/scot... in interview I wrote for RED Digital Cinema

DP Callan Green used AI as inspiration for the look of Nobody 2. “It’s a more specific way of looking at colour, tone, and vibe. I don’t know yet quite how to use AI, but it is something that I want to do, so I can create a scene or a storyboard and throw up some ideas" www.ibc.org/production/f...

Spirit of Redford. The nearest I came was a visit to the set in Grafton, Utah and the classic Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head bike ride by Butch (my picture is first, obvs)

My favourite Robert Redford is 1966 gothic melodrama The Chase, in which he starred alongside Brando and Jane Fonda as an escaped convict. This bitter tale of rich v poor and justice v fake news has fatal consequences

At IBC, the rise of YouTube, the growing professionalisation of creators, and attempts by vendors to court them was more visible than ever. The tech ecosystem is being built around iPhone with several companies now accessorising for Apple www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/New...

AI is delivering positive benefits to the media factory, to improve performance and reduce costs of the supply chain, in versioning, marketing and discovery. The impact of GenAI on content creation is a debate left for another day www.csimagazine.com/csi/IBC2025-...
