Founder of Stareable, the promise of these spaces lies in their ability to upend outdated ideas of who gets to make TV.

For Ajay Kishore, founder of Stareable, the promise of these spaces lies in their ability to upend outdated ideas of who gets to make TV. "Particularly as a person of color, one of the things I find so exciting about web series and indie TV creators is that the groups that have traditionally been excluded by Hollywood - women, people of color, the LGBTQIA+, the disability community - thrive online because there are fewer gatekeepers.

"Watching TV episodes on the big screen at film festivals may never drive the cultural conversation in the way of a new Oscar contender emerging at Sundance or Cannes or the water-cooler show of the moment. But the infrastructure being built around the screenings themselves is where the production, distribution and marketing of TV is now being reimagined.

"I think the powerful thing that's happened over the past 10 years is that the internet has democratized who is allowed to be creative," Kishore says. "And I think now we're finally... taking that creativity and connecting it in a structured and smart way to the industry that's hungry for it."
