OSCAR SAID NO.
OZ SOLD OUT.
The Oscars just banned AI actors and scripts.
Human only. Verified. Audited.
Same time…
"Wizard of Oz" at Sphere crossed $370M.
Nearly 3 million tickets.
Nobody cared how it was made.
The Academy protects the idea.
The audience wants the experience.
They just show up… or they don’t.
And right now, they did.

TODAY'S ASSISTANT. TOMORROW'S EVP OF DEV.
Headcount shrinks. Workloads don't. So Hollywood's underclass is using AI. Quietly. Behind their bosses' backs.
Writing coverage. Breaking down scripts. Drafting emails. Running development.
Management bans it. The assistants use it. Who wins?
Disruption is never top-down; it's from the most to prove and least to lose.
Hollywood's AI future isn't in the boardroom. It's in the backrooms.
From $18/hr to irreplaceable, and faster than you think.

Sidestep the Studios
Eric Tabach sold $7M in pre-sale tickets for an indie film. No studio. No streamer. No star system.
Just a mic, a YouTube audience, and a movie (The Tribe).
1. Build the audience.
2. Sell the story.
3. Disrupt the system.
No concept decks. No pitch meetings. No run around. Create demand then deliver the content.
Hollywood still thinks it runs the system, but It’s about to shift..
The future of film is already watching.
