23 Oct
Summary
- Collage is a new management firm for AI studios.
- It connects traditional studios with trusted AI players.
- The firm also offers business development and investor access.
A new management firm, Collage, has launched this week, founded by DeSario and veteran investor Michael Lambert. The firm aims to serve as a crucial bridge between Hollywood's established media landscape and the rapidly evolving world of AI-native studios. Collage seeks to connect traditional studios with vetted AI companies that possess specialized knowledge.
Collage's services extend beyond simple client management. The firm will assist in analyzing scripts to determine the most effective technological approach for each scene, whether it involves generative AI, hybrid methods, or traditional production techniques. This week, Collage also announced the successful closure of its seed funding round.
Collage intends to operate more as a comprehensive platform than a traditional management service. This includes offering support for technical partnerships, business development tools, essential back-office infrastructure, and facilitating access to investors. DeSario plans to leverage the firm's collective portfolio to negotiate more favorable terms for resources like computing power and office space.
