In this episode, Carly is joined by Feature co-founders Dennis Alshuler – a successful entrepreneur and business development executive – and Steven Ilous – an entertainment executive who’s previously worked on films including the Matrix & the Polar Express.
Feature is a web3 studio powering creators, brands, and the future of entertainment. Their licensing platform is currently being used by Coinbase to cast Bored Apes in their upcoming film series.
Steven and Dennis break down this new world of NFT licensing: how people are making money licensing their NFTs, how big the market for licensed NFTs might be, and how to make sure you, as an NFT holder, stay protected.
We also discuss the broader shifts that are underway in consumer behaviors, why Unreal Engine 5 is a big deal for the metaverse, and how the old Hollywood studio model is broken.
Enjoy!
