THERE IS NO ONE CREATOR ECONOMY.

We heard from a long list of digital creators and they are all very authentic and unique. Here are a few of them: Jenny Hoyos, Zach King, and Sticks.

Three creators. Three completely different approaches to storytelling and entertainment.

That was one of my many takeaways from Created in LA:

Being a “creator” doesn’t tell us what you’re actually building.

A show?
A character?
A format?
A community?
A product?
A business?
An IP?

So what are YOU actually building?
My next post will explore the concept: “What are buyers looking for?”

DAY 4 OF 7 of CREATED IN LA

They didn’t know where it would lead either.

Listening to Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian talk about how it all began made me think about something much bigger than the Kardashians.

What happens when the economics of creation change?

You can debate celebrity culture. You can debate reality television. You don’t even have to like the Kardashians.

But there is something worth studying:

How did they turn media, attention, audience and identity into businesses and products?

They experimented before anyone knew exactly where all of it was going.

Creators are standing at another one of those moments right now.

AI is changing the tools.
Production is changing.
Distribution is changing.
The opportunities are changing.

There is real uncertainty in entertainment right now. But uncertainty can also be the beginning of something new.

The question isn’t only:

What is changing?

It’s also:

What can you build now that you couldn’t build before?

Every new path looks uncertain at the beginning.

ART WAS NEVER STATIC.
Neither are artists.

Stay Curious.

NOT FINISHED YET.

I photographed this billboard earlier today featuring Erik Weihenmayer and a campaign by passiton.com inspired this little experiment. I animated the moment when the mountain image comes to life and he reaches upward.

To me, that reach says: one more step.

Whatever you’re building, rebuilding, or trying to get through, keep going.

Something important is happening in entertainment and filmmakers should be paying attention.

For years, vertical video was treated as something you watched quickly on your phone.

That line is disappearing.

YouTube has introduced Shorts Series, allowing creators to organize Shorts into seasons and episodes with viewing that can continue across mobile, web, and TV.

Take a look at the numbers:

6.5 BILLION microdrama views in the first half of 2026.
50%+ year-over-year growth in watch time.
90%+ growth in microdrama viewing on TV screens.

This is bigger than a new YouTube feature.

It’s another signal of where storytelling is going.

The boundaries between social media, creator content, streaming, film and television are starting to blur.

A story can begin vertically on a phone, build an audience through short episodes, become a series and travel to the biggest screen in the house.

That’s one of the biggest ideas I took away from Created in LA: filmmakers and digital creators are no longer necessarily operating in separate worlds.

We need to learn how to tell great stories across screens.

The technology keeps changing.
The platforms keep changing.
Our need for great stories doesn’t.

Filmmakers, writers, producers and creators: Are microdramas part of your future?

Creators aren’t just making content.

They’re shaping culture.

That idea kept coming back to me during Created in LA.

Listening to Dana Walden, President and Chief Creative Officer of The Walt Disney Company, talk about creators, audiences, storytelling, and experiencing the event created and hosted by Jon Youshaei, made me think about how quickly the lines between traditional entertainment and the creator world are changing.

For years, we talked about “digital creators” and traditional film and television as if they belonged to separate worlds.

After Created in LA, I’m not so sure those worlds are separate anymore.

And that leaves me with a question:

If creators are shaping culture, how is that changing the future of entertainment?

I want to know what YOU think.

Is our attention span really getting shorter… or are we simply getting better at deciding what deserves our attention?

That’s one of the questions I brought home from Created in LA.

Creators may have only seconds to make us stop scrolling.

But getting our attention is one thing.

Earning it is something else.

A hook might make us stop.
But the story has to make us stay.

So today I want to ask you:

What makes YOU stop scrolling — and what makes you stay?

The person? The question? The first image? The story? Something unexpected?

👇 Tell me in the comments or DM me. I’m curious.

What if everything we thought we knew about creating content was changing?

I just spent two extraordinary days at Created in LA @createdinla created by @youshaei in partnership with @disneystudios surrounded by creators, filmmakers, professionals, and the most important executives, technologists and industry leaders in the digital creative space.

I went in curious.

I came back thinking differently.

About storytelling.
About audiences.
About technology.
And about where all of this is going next.

For the next 7 days, I’m taking you behind the experience through my IRL Series: Created in LA, sharing what surprised me, what made me think, and some of the questions I brought home.

Yes, it’s already influencing what we’re building at Eureka Media Lab and perfectly timed to introduce our series Stay Curious: Fact Check.

But I want to start this process with you:

What do you think is changing the most right now? Storytelling, technology, audiences, or the way creators make money? I am curious to know what you think.

Tell me in the comments or DM.

EL FUTURO DEL CINE YA NO ESTÁ ESPERANDO PERMISO 🎬

Si ya creas contenido, trabajas en cine o televisión, disfrutas estar frente o detrás de una cámara, tienes una historia que deseas compartir, o simplemente quieres iniciar y nunca lo has hecho pero te entusiasma, esta es información que necesitas conocer hoy.

No importa si apenas estás comenzando, si ya tienes experiencia o si todavía estás explorando las posibilidades. Las herramientas, las plataformas y los caminos para llegar a una audiencia están cambiando para todos.

Durante décadas, para que una historia encontrara audiencia, tenía que atravesar una cadena de intermediarios: festivales, distribuidores, cadenas de televisión, estudios y salas de cine.

Ese sistema todavía importa. Pero ya no es el único camino. taken in Disney Screening Theater by @opusclip

✨ The Future of IRL: Created in LA / Day One

Today reminded me why real-life connection still matters.

At Created in LA with Disney, I met and exchanged ideas with talented people from across the digital creator community. We also watched two imaginative creator-led films: The Technoblade Movie by @sticksfilms and Cardboard Wars, @zachking’s playful Star Wars parody. Both were entertaining, original, and inspiring!

This event represented something even bigger: creator-led digital media is becoming an important new direction for film and television. With growing support from Disney, YouTube, Netflix, and other platforms, the definition of filmmaking is expanding.

If you’re a filmmaker interested in this medium, now is the time to get on board. This isn’t a future trend waiting to happen, the momentum is happening right now.

Some of the wonderful people I met and recommend following:

✨ @fabio
✨ @realtohirt
✨ @sckachi
✨ @nateastone
✨ @mattsteffanina
✨ @thebritstrv
✨ Zach Ford on LinkedIn
✨ Andrew Kan on LinkedIn
✨ Conor Eliot of OpusClip on LinkedIn

Also follow the filmmakers: @sticksfilms, @zachking, and @joshfapp.

And yes, I was elated to finally take pictures with my two favorite mice, Mickey and Minnie! ❤️🐭✨

A very special thank-you to my friend Patricia De Leon for doing my makeup and being my fashion consultant. You helped me feel confident, elegant, and ready for this unforgettable evening. ❤️

I’m heading home grateful and energized. Tomorrow brings an important event with the executives, so now it’s time to rest and prepare.

The creator economy may be powered by technology, but its heart is still human connection.

Stay Curious. Stay Human.
