Entertainment is fragmenting and expanding simultaneously. Documentaries move markets and shape public opinion. Creators with phones outperform studios with budgets.

The gatekeepers are gone; distribution is direct; and the line between player, viewer, and creator keeps blurring. This session examines who's building the next generation of entertainment, where capital is flowing, and what "mainstream" even means anymore.
