    This Company is Taking Down Hollywood With Creators

    In this episode, I interview Simon Kim, one of the founders of Creator Camp who's building a studio that's empowering creators to take over the big screen. And they're funding the movies themselves. Like Baron Ryan's Two Sleepy People film that was written, shot, produced, and in-theatres in less than 100 days.
