Kenny Miller
Rethinking DAOs and changing the way Hollywood operates
In Episode #60, Ross is joined by Kenny Miller, founder of StudioDao, and a creative and entrepreneurial leader focused on developing media brands that target emerging spaces in digital media.
Kenny’s path has led to iconic work for culture-defining brands such as Apple, Disney, Nickelodeon, Noggin, MTV, The Walking Dead, Netflix, and the New York Knicks. His work has connected profoundly with users of all ages worldwide. Kenny’s work has covered every aspect of the business-- production, marketing, distribution, and importantly revenue, which have been completely refashioned by the never-ending digital transformation of media.
Ross and Kenny discuss how StudioDAO is rethinking DAO structures as we know them, and how community finance and consumption rights will change how movies are being made.
Highlights
It still takes a creative person at the center to say – this is what it is, this is what it isn't
We don't need to make a hundred million dollars on a movie. We just need for that to be a great experience for people in the DAO
It's gonna be the most dangerous audience in the world. They're gonna green light [+ have rights to] their content
Films could become more like startups + having equity in those startups could be beneficial for actors
It's a film studio owned by the filmmakers and the fans
When you join a DAO, there's often a lot of weight that goes with it
