SPEAKER

Maria Tanjala, Irina Albita

Big Couch (http://www.bigcouch.co.uk/) was listed in 2017 as one of the most disruptive startups in the film industry by EU-Startups (http://www.eu-startups.com/2017/04/10-european-startups-with-the-potential-to-disrupt-the-movie-industry/). Maria Tanjala and Irina Albita set up Big Couch in late 2014 with the desire to enable crews to become invested in the films they work on. They standardise the back-end deals, with a clear revenue of deferred payment and profit shares. After successfully implementing ‘crewfunding’ in UK and Europe, they aim to disrupt the indie film sector further with a seamless process of distributing the revenues for content creators and independent film producers. They are researching integration with blockchain technology and smart contracts with support from Imperial College London. Maria is a former filmmaker, having worked both as crew as well as producing, with experience in handling budgets and hands-on production. Irina has a background in technology, governance and finance and has run several startups in the past.

Peter Harris
Founder of Resonate

Peter will speak about the #stream2own music streaming cooperative Resonate and the possibilities offered by the blockchain technology to connect creators and consumers of audio content.

As a web developer since the 90's, Peter has built hundreds of sites across dozens of industries. Having special focus on the music business, he has collaborated with numerous musicians from struggling artists to mid-level bands and even a few platinum-selling superstars. With a day job as web dev, Peter had a night hobby as DJ and electronica producer, using virtually every web and music publishing platform available. Finding them all lacking, this combination of background and insight is what led to the fundamental features to be offered via Resonate. Beyond Resonate, Peter is actively contributing to groups and initiatives seeking to create a blockchain-based standard for music metadata and licensing.

Saskia Kress
Founder and CEO of Filmtank and Interactive Media Foundation

Saskia will speak about producing cross-media theme worlds and conveying sophisticated content in a modern way. In her view, especially the areas of education, new media and their technological progress offer unique opportunities.
