It's a tough time in Hollywood, with TV shows being canceled, shoots moving to cheaper locales , and jobs lost to industry consolidation . Meanwhile, the independent creator economy is booming.
G&B Digital Management , a 10-year-old talent management firm, has been hosting free classes, called "Flipping the Script," aimed at helping Hollywood workers capitalize on new opportunities. G&B founder and CEO, Kyle Hjelmeseth, has put them on in Los Angeles and New York. About 40 people attended a recent event in New York, including film and TV producers and directors.
During the class, Hjelmeseth and G&B's education director, Joey Gagliardi, gave a high-level overview of the creator economy and practical steps people can follow to take advantage of it.
One big takeaway: the new and old entertainment worlds have more similarities than you might think, and even people used to being part of big crews and behind the scenes have transferable skills.
"You've already been trained for all of this," Gagliardi told the New York class. "Because nobody runs a ship tighter than a producer."
