It’s been just 100 years since silent films were all the rage in
Hollywood,
followed by talkies, moving color, digital, and now AI.
Please join me in welcoming two experts in the film world who
join us to talk
about the ever-changing world of Hollywood, Valentina Castellani
Quinn,
president of Quinn Studios Entertainment, and Marvin Williams,
founder of Big
M Entertainment Pictures, discussing their latest venture on the
Sony Pictures
Studios lot to combine the best of Hollywood with the latest
technologies.
Valentina’s father-in-law was Anthony Quinn, and she talks about
the timing of
this venture with Sony, once Columbia Pictures, which produced one
of Mr.
Quinn’s greatest films, Lawrence of Arabia. The film’s poster hangs
proudly in
the halls of Sony to celebrate its 100-year anniversary making
motion pictures.
Marvin, best known for producing “The Jungle Book,” among other
classics,
said he plans to combine the past with the future of Hollywood
projects by
merging AI technology with art. He says much like Netflix, Apple,
and Hulu,
streaming is where it’s at. At least for now. Will they transform
older films with
AI technology? We be talking about that, too.
We’ll also discuss some new ventures, including involvement with
the Canne
Film Festival and a very “passionate” film development that’s in
the works as
well. Please tune into #DeborahKobyltLIVE, the #LittleItalyPodcast
and
#LittleItalyOfLAPodcast on all video and audio podcast platforms to
hear our
discussion. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and I thank you for
joining us.
