In today's episode of the Showcast, recorded live at the 2024 AVP Summit in Reggio Calabria, Italy, TFV's Matt Micucci sits down with Lori McCreary, the American producer and CEO of Revelations Entertainment, which she co-founded with Morgan Freeman in 1996. McCreary discusses the company's history and mission, highlighting some of its most acclaimed productions and previewing upcoming projects, including Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated adaptation of the sci-fi classic, "Rendezvous With Rama." Reflecting on the AVP Summit's themes, we explore the factors that have influenced the audiovisual production industry in recent years and the importance of nurturing co-productions. In addition, McCreary, who has a prominent background in computer science, shares her insights on the industry's evolution and her early recognition of the need for adaptation to new technologies, exemplified by her work with the broadband movie distribution company ClickStar back in 2006, which predated the rise of major streaming platforms.
