Last year I was offered a subscription to Netflix Canada. This was huge for me! Netflix saw I loved them and offered me a subscription in return for sharing what I watch on Facebook. This was a-ok for me. I watched the ENTIRE House of Cards (13, 1 hours eps) in one weekend. Some of my fav series are Orange is the New Black, United States of Tara, Archer, House of Cards, and all the TED videos. I  watch A LOT of movies. (Don’t judge me for watching Clueless often!)

“If you’re watching a TV show on your iPad is it no longer a TV show?”

Key Takeaways

• We can take a bite out of piracy
• The audience wants the control, if they want to binge we should let them
• We learned the lesson the music industry didn’t learn
• People are more likley to pay for it rather than steal it (most the time!)
• What defines a film?
• Is a TV show on an iPad no longer a TV show?
• The device and length are irrlevant
• For kids growing up now there is no difference, it’s all content, it’s just stories
• The audience has spoken, they want stories!

This conference talk by Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) made me feel SO inspired about the future of internet, film, and television. On demand viewing is the FUTURE of TV. Remember last year when I said “INNOVATE OR DIE?”. Pay attention, you don’t want to be left behind people!
