"Can old Hollywood learn new tricks? That was the question hanging over a four-hour "master class" I recently sat in on to help people in the TV and movie industry pivot to the creator economy. With shows being canceled left and right, shoots moving to cheaper locales overseas, and layoffs wrought by industry consolidation, these are tough times, even for a workforce used to unpredictability. Meanwhile, the independent creator economy is booming."
"Called "Flipping the Script Master Class," the course Bregman and I attended was free and hosted by G&B Digital Management, a 10-year-old firm that represents creator talent, including Blake Scott Silva and Dr. Marie Mansaray-Lahai, who goes by RIE DEFINED. G&B founder and CEO Kyle Hjelmeseth said he saw an urgent need for the course, given the high number of people out of work. G&B has hosted two in Los Angeles and one in New York so far."
A free four-hour master class in Brooklyn offered career training and emotional support to roughly 40 film and TV professionals exploring the creator economy. The session targeted workers affected by show cancellations, overseas production moves, and industry consolidation, and framed independent creator careers as an alternative. Attendees included seasoned production, directing, writing, and performing professionals facing unemployment or curious about creator work. Organizers from G&B Digital Management emphasized urgency given high job losses and cited previous sessions in Los Angeles and New York. Participants questioned how team-based, long-form skills translate to solo-driven, short-form content on digital platforms.
