Web Entertainment Pioneer to discuss the future of content creation and distribution in a world where there is no "business as usual."
Danny Zappin, co-founder and former CEO of the pioneering YouTube network Maker Studios, will deliver the keynote address at Createasphere‘s 13th Annual Entertainment Technology Expo (ETE). Entitled Wake Up!! There Is No “Business As Usual,” the session will be moderated by Benny Luo, founder of the influential web entertainment site NewMediaRockstars. It’s scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on November 7th in Theatre 1 at the ETE host site, the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in Burbank, California.
In a provocative and eye-opening session, Zappin and Luo will discuss the explosive growth in broadband and over-the-top content and its game-changing implications for content creators. Drawing on their personal experiences at the frontier of online content, the two visionary leaders will offer their perspectives on the current state of the industry, where it’s headed, and what they’re doing to capitalize on today’s emerging opportunities. It’s a session no one who hopes to succeed in the brave new world of digital content will want to miss.
“For those involved in creating and distributing content, the old ways of doing business no longer hold,” says Kristin Petrovich Kennedy, president of Createasphere, ETE’s sponsor. “Danny’s keynote will reveal what’s new and what’s coming very quickly in television and cinema. It’s meant to be a wake-up call, but it will also empower attendees by showing them how they can thrive in a future that is already taking shape.”
ETE is the West Coast’s premiere exposition for content creators, featuring technology demonstrations from more than 50 leading software and hardware developers, as well as a packed lineup of workshops, master classes, panel discussions and speakers, featuring the best and brightest minds from all corners of the entertainment world.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
