San Francisco, August 21, 2024 – MovieLabs, the technology joint venture of the major Hollywood motion picture studios, announced today the formation of a new MovieLabs Industry Forum focused on designing and developing the future of professional media creation. Applications for membership are now open for technology service providers, creative application and service providers, software development companies, systems integrators, and cloud providers. Membership provides a way for organizations to participate with MovieLabs and its member studios Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Universal City Studios, LLC., The Walt Disney Studios, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. more deeply and directly. More information about how to apply to the MovieLabs Industry Forum is available at www.movielabs.com/IndustryForum.
Since the 2019 release of the pivotal MovieLabs whitepaper, “The Evolution of Media Creation: a 10 Year Vision for the Future of Media Production, Post and Creative Technologies”, aka “The MovieLabs 2030 Vision,” MovieLabs has been inspiring the global media industry. The 2030 Vision’s 10 Foundational Principles have increasingly become implementation touchpoints, engineering/technology areas of focus, and goals for media organizations worldwide. This global implementation momentum comes at a time when the industry is focused on the impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and a greater need for appropriate industry collaboration. Bringing the key stakeholders of the industry’s future together with MovieLabs member studios in the new MovieLabs Industry Forum will accelerate implementation and provide greater support. For companies that share the 2030 Vision as a North Star, the MovieLabs Industry Forum will enable industry implementors and adopters to play a deeper role in engaging with MovieLabs and their industry peers.
Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs said “We’re excited to announce the MovieLabs Industry Forum and invite organizations of all sizes and across the global media creation landscape to join MovieLabs and other industry leaders in accelerating the work we are all doing to help the industry forge ahead in achieving a more secure, interoperable and efficient media creation ecosystem.”
