Wesley Wang, Dave Levy and HaZ on what happens when creators who built audiences online make films - and who's building the infrastructure to let them.

Three perspectives on the creator-to-filmmaker pipeline: the creator who navigated it, the architect designing it, and the artist who refuses to pick one format. What does it really take to move from online to making films - and who decides when you've arrived? Wesley Wang built an audience of millions before the film industry had a framework for what he was doing. Dave Levy of Fivefold Studios is building the infrastructure for vertical drama through ByteDance and UKRI-backed research. And transmedia creator HaZ is taking Astro Burn across game, animation and live action as a single creative practice.
