Chris Yeh, the co-author of Blitzscaling, and Peter Shiao, the founder and CEO of Immortal Studios, will discuss why Silicon Valley and Hollywood have struggled to work together, and how they can collaborate more fruitfully in the future – through the prism of a new ambitious startup seeking to bridge the gap with a Silicon Beach way to launch a new global studio focused on the Wuxia (martial arts fantasy) genre.Immortal Studios is building “the next Marvel” (according to The Wrap) which includes the use of digital comics as “minimum viable product” MVP’s and leveraging new technologies like NFTs to reward and engage fans.The future of technology is content, and the future of content is technology.As a special bonus, all attendees will receive a signed copy of the cover art for Immortal’s first comic book release. A physical “NFT” if you will!Run of Show6:30pm - Check-in / Food & Drinks6:45pm - Event Begins7:30pm - Q&A Begins8:00pm - Event Ends
