Jan 28, 2022 Posted by: Anushree Nande Kartik Hosanagar,  Palo Alto,  SDG 9,  USA

Kartik: Thanks for having me on, Spiffy! Jumpcut is democratizing Hollywood by connecting writers and filmmakers directly to online communities, so we can all work together to write new stories for films and television shows with diverse stories and characters. Hollywood today is an old boy's club that is not very inclusive. Furthermore, the current system doesn’t cater to fans who are yearning for shared experiences and participation in the creative process. We are reimagining how to write and film content with viewers just like you at the center! We create story universes with Web3 communities and the end result are shows and films that audiences love and include a greater diversity of stories, characters, writers, and filmmakers.
