Reflecting the global nature of makers, there’s a feature on the art of remaking shows around the world, the impact of Brexit on European production, plus a look at the complexity of producing Sense8, a big budget, diverse and highly international series which filmed across all five continents. As well as its global focus, makers was conceived as a magazine that shines a light on the converging worlds of film, TV and commercials. Inside, we profile companies that really are taking a multidisciplinary approach to production, such as Pulse Films and the fledgling Wonderhood Studios, finding out about the challenges and opportunities of creating content in this age of convergence.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we examine how film and TV is taking inspiration from the multi-billion dollar games industry, mining its technology and storylines. And, with Millenials settling down to have children, we look at the viewing habits of the cohort just behind them, the digitally native Generation Z.
We hope you enjoy this issue. makers will be back again in the spring – and if you have any feedback or would like to get in touch about the next edition, do drop us a line at info@thelocationguide.com
