100. Jeff Gomez, HaZ Dulull and Brian Newman: Building Stories that Last

In this special Future of Film conversation, Alex Stolz is joined by three leading voices exploring how storytellers can build work that sustains in a rapidly changing creative landscape:

Jeff Gomez, pioneer in worldbuilding and transmedia storytelling

HaZ Dulull, filmmaker and creator working across film, games and emerging technologies

Brian Newman, strategist and producer focused on audience, creator sustainability and new creative models

Together, they explore:

• Why filmmakers can no longer think only in terms of single projects

• The shift from “audience after” to “audience throughout”

• How creators can build worlds that expand across formats and platforms

• Ownership, IP and sustainable creative careers

• AI, games and emerging storytelling tools

• Why emotional resonance matters more than ever

From Kickstarter and creator-funded IP to transmedia storytelling, audience feedback loops and the future of story worlds, this conversation explores how screen storytellers can adapt and thrive in an era of fragmented attention and rapidly evolving technology.
