- A robust, pre-existing network and deep fluency in the Hollywood ecosystem, including studios, production companies, VFX houses, and talent agencies (e.g., CAA, UTA, WME).
- Mastery of the full, outbound-heavy (60%+) sales cycle: prospecting, running discovery, designing POCs, navigating procurement, and closing complex, multi-threaded deals.

If...

- You believe better tools unlock better stories, and you want to be the one to prove it to the industry.
- You prefer "iterate, ship, learn" to "submit, review, wait."
