Episode Synopsis

It’s time for another new one How Do You Like it So Far? folks! Henry and Colin are joined this week by A.J. Christian, an Associate Professor of Communication at Northwestern University and Founder of OTV in Chicago. He discusses the concept of Open TV and the origin story of the group. He opens up about the ecosystem of TV and web production in Chicago and how that inspired him to start Open TV back in 2014. He dives deep into the problematic structure of “pilot season” and how its archaic system used to be impossible to penetrate without being based in LA and represented by a manager or an agent. Listen in as Christian breaks down the studio systems and how OTV is a revolutionary model for developing diverse and complex TV shows for a future we all want to live in. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
