Producer Steve Bannerman, former head of Amazon MGM's international originals post-production and VFX, has observed how streaming platforms and accessible technology have revolutionized independent filmmaking. With post-production tools and VFX capabilities now within reach of smaller budgets, indie creators can produce cinema-quality content and reach global audiences through short-form and digital platforms—fundamentally democratizing an industry once dominated by major studios.

His former work with Steve Jobs and Apple's quick time player has queued him up for blazing the road for new tools and accessibility to those wanting to make film content.
