Ten years ago, I met a friendly middle-aged researcher exchange after greeting, continue to pour out his plan, to build an entertainment company at the cannes film festival. I was told that he is a billionaire, but an unremarkable - no followers, no guards, not even a gem earrings before - so I poured out my reaction, listened respectfully: I think his business planning. I even don't like the name of his company, participants. This sounds too, to participate in.
Today, Jeff cole and his company still exists; Clear in my opinion, I did not resonate as well. Who was involved in his buoyancy (and money) about 40 films, including "Lincoln", "help," open this weekend, "the fifth village", build a powerful digital platform, advocating for the society.
This year, in another flight of optimism, he launched a new TV channel, perspective, achieve 400000 families (more later). One day, he also revealed that he plans to extend the scope of the overseas participants in the various media to create local products in 10 countries.
Ten years ago, I reserved, Kerr is very basic - programming around the construction of socialism idea related to "society" theme. I the hearts of pedestrians, sounds dangerous message, and then find the story and characters. I have participated in several such noble project, not only to run against the old Samuel gore devin criticism, "if you want to send a message, please contact western union."
However, he works are related to the social agenda of Paul scholes, chief executive Jim burke, one-time high school principal said hello to powerful leadership, has achieved remarkable consistency. He created the unique style of products, there are something more difficult: depict directly to enable his audience to action in the TV show or movie's point of view, by joining TakePart, online operation platform, can help the motive links in the programming for business or campaign.
Participants from 17 staff has grown to 219, ABU dhabi and Qatar has gained common financing deals now. Also use resources of distributors, equity, often have the lift its products.
But it is a enterprise? Of course, we can't on the enterprise. Participants, Kerr baby - exercise in what he called "unconventional charity." He offered millions of dollars to find and funding. Since this is his private company, not the number of profit and loss report, but the personage inside course of study thinks, the company has produced a solid income stream. Despite its high-profile failure (e.g., "the beaver"), some of its pictures have made box office, "infected" and "the best of exotic marigold hotel".
Its latest version, the "fifth village", reflects the risk of the participants. Subjects, wikipedia decryption Julian he (Julian Assange) government secrecy attack, at the same time provide tension and current events. But depicted in the movie, he is still looking for a character. Science fiction LM is real cold.
In the new TV channels, short-term participants similar intransigence. It's launch is ambitious - type in the millennium 360 hours of original programming. Its aim is not to conquer the ratings list, but "to create a conversation." It is anxiously: talk show hosted by meghan McCain, and Joseph Gordon levitt will start in January he version of the variety show, live performances, shorts random quirks (quick temper actor first function orientation, "Tang Qiaoen," run to lose the market).
Everything, I'm glad he lent me advice on deaf ears. Launched on ebay, so as to create a large industry, he is now in more challenging things - an intelligent conversation. Maybe that is something doesn't need a business plan.
