On January 28th, SMPTE Hollywood will host senior technology executives from MovieLabs, Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures in a virtual panel discussion on their shared vision for the future of the film and television industry.

It foresees sweeping changes in workflow, technology and processes based on a new cloud foundation, controlled security and access, and software-defined workflows.
At SMPTE Hollywood's virtual meeting, MovieLabs CTO Jim Helman, Sony Pictures' Vice President of Post Production, Technology Development Daniel De La Rosa, and Universal Pictures Vice President of Creative Technologies Annie Chang will discuss this vision for the future, how it will come about, and its impact on production and post production. They will also describe how COVID-19 has led to the accelerated adoption of some MovieLabs 2030 concepts. Greg Ciaccio, ASC Motion Imaging Technology Council Workflow Chair, will moderate.
The event will be hosted on Zoom and is scheduled for Thursday, January 28th at 7:00pm PST. The panel discussion will be followed by a question and answer session. It is free and open to all.
