A new generation of filmmakers raised on YouTube and TikTok are redefining how indie films reach theaters. In this session, Creator Camp CEO Max Reisinger joins Two Sleepy People writer, director, and star Baron Ryan and Kickstarter’s Head of Film to explore how creator-led storytelling and community-driven distribution are turning followers into ticket buyers. Using Two Sleepy People — which expanded to 120+ theaters with zero paid marketing — as a case study, this conversation shows how younger audiences still show up for the big screen when films feel personal, social, and event-driven.
