What if the future of Hollywood is not something to fear, but something to build? In this episode of the Women in Entertainment Podcast, Renee Rossi and Jocelyn Westerhold sit down with Tobias Queisser, CEO of CineLytic Group, to unpack one of the industry’s most emotionally charged topics: AI. But instead of feeding the usual panic, Tobias offers a grounded and refreshingly optimistic perspective on where entertainment is headed. From forecasting box office performance to improving submissions, distribution, and rights sales, he explains how utility AI can support the business of film without replacing the creative heartbeat that drives it. Throughout the conversation, Tobias makes the case that many of Hollywood’s current challenges are not caused by AI at all, but by outdated systems, weak transparency, and a resistance to modernizing the business side of entertainment. He shares how CineLytic’s tools are helping studios, producers, and financiers make smarter decisions, discover new voices faster, and better position projects for theatrical or streaming success. This episode is ultimately a hopeful look at what comes next: a more sustainable, data-informed, creatively empowered Hollywood.
