From the Feed to the Screen: How the Internet's Best Storytellers Are Rewriting Hollywood

From the Feed to the Screen: How the Internet's Best Storytellers Are Rewriting Hollywood

A conversation with Creator Camp founders and filmmakers from Camp's first cohort. Tracing the journey from YouTube bedroom filmmaker to theatrical release. The panel unpacks what the incubator model actually looks like in practice, why traditional development is failing this generation, and what brands, distributors, and festivals need to understand about backing internet-native IP. 


Max Reisinger is Co-Founder and CEO of Creator Camp, a digitally native film studio bridging online audiences and theatrical cinema. After building a community of 750,000+ subscribers through his documentary YouTube series, he realized that online media had no clear path to maturity - and set out to build one.

With 300 curated creators commanding 3 billion yearly views, Creator Camp has built the infrastructure to finance and distribute premium, creator-led entertainment. Their debut film Two Sleepy People grossed 2.5x its production budget in its opening week, driven by an almost entirely organic marketing strategy that reached 50+ million people - proving that a new model for film is not just possible, it's already here.
 
Tre' Scott is the Founder and CEO of Benton Street Holdings, whose media and technology division invests in innovators across indie film, live theater, and emerging forms of digital content. A former Managing Director at Microsoft, Scott built his career around helping industries transform and adapt before making his own pivot into media and entertainment. Now a Tony Award-winning producer and advisor to startups pushing the boundaries of storytelling, he makes a point of backing the creative voices bold enough to do the same.
