Jason Thompson may be the new Cipriani Wall Street
Jason, of PXT Studio in LA, co-produced the Civilians Benefit last week. Using the live streaming software vMix, he elegantly interwove multiple live presenters, recorded performances, an auction, and a "Pledge Moment," all across nearly 90 minutes of highly engaging programming, He basically gave us much of what we have come to expect from our favorite venues — a beautiful and thoughtfully designed place to come together and support a cause we love. The following conversation explores how he was able to pull that off in under a week, and what he sees as the potential for this medium going forward. He can also be found on instagram and facebook.
