Financing Movie Making requires convergence of investors, bankers and several financial institutions coming together. The entire movie making process is complex across the lifecycle of pre-production, production, post-production, distribution etc.
As a producer of a movie, the intent is to ensure the success of the content (movie) and make financial profit. The entire moving making process results in a lot of data generation (from scripts, marketing assets, actors, posters, trailers, props, exchange of information, ideas and so many other aspects across the lifecycle).
Can AI or GenAI help with finding patterns through the latitude of data across the movie making lifecycle? Can it help with prediction of success of movies that allows producers, directors, financiers to take informed and wise decisions for moving making? NStarX Data Scientists have been looking at this problem for a while now!

We’ll need English and Spanish subtitles and audio tracks, and we’ll send a WebRTC output to one CDN and a CMAF output to another.”

The rise of the mega streamer has brought the broadcast media industry into a period of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The acronym VUCA first described the complex and challenging geopolitical situation in 1987 following the Cold War, and now aptly defines the current media landscape. It’s an environment characterized by volatility in that challenges are unexpected and sometimes incomprehensible; by uncertainty in that change may happen, or not; by complexity in that it is influenced by numerous variables; and by ambiguity in that causal relationships can be difficult or impossible to define.

Judging by the number of trade publication articles and speaking sessions that focus on the topic, you’d think that the entire media and entertainment industry is focussed on cutting carbon costs. But is that really the case? True, broadcasters have set ambitious targets to reach net zero, the streaming giants are following suit, and they’re putting pressure on production companies to reduce their environmental impact and include sustainability messaging in the content they produce. Carbon emissions have even become a critical consideration in planning new studio builds. But not every part of the production chain is putting the environment first.
