Entertainment Inc.) will be joined by Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Avid, Dolby, DreamWorks Animation, and Skywalker Sound in the Forum's Leadership Council.
CEO Richard Berger announced Leon Silverman as the chair of the MovieLabs Industry Forum. Founder and an advisor to the board of the Hollywood Professional Association, Silverman's career has included senior roles at companies including Walt Disney Studios and Netflix. He is also actively involved in executive committee roles at both the Television Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs said: It is essential for our industry to continue to embrace emerging technologies in ways that empower storytellers and the entire creative community. While much work lies ahead, we are gathering the right companies and voices to realise the 2030 Vision future that has inspired so many. Together with our member studios, the Leadership Council, and new members of the Forum, and with Leon Silverman as Chair, we are well positioned for success.
Leon Silverman, chair of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, added: We're at a crucial point in our industry's evolution, where collaboration is essential to building a future that honorus our past while embracing innovation. I'm encouraged by the enthusiasm of our Leadership Council and growing global community of Forum members who are committed to working together to realise our shared vision for our creative industry's future.
