World Builders - Entertainment IP generation and elevation program
Why
For the next 10 years technology development will make entertainment content production process close to trivial.
Strategically it makes more sense to invest in generating IP rights and nurturing IP directors, capable of transforming ideas into commercial product in different media types, that fit business or creative purposes of the moment.
What
We nurture IP directors - creative leaders capable of turning ideas into cross-media commercial entertainment products and leading creative teams.
We facilitate design and development of pre-production-ready, original games & digital art IPs with global adoption potential and connecting them with the investors, production and publishers.
