@gstrompolos @fairground_tv From humble beginnings indeed… who knows where it goes - thanks @gstrompolos !

@fairground_tv @cpetrien This is cool guys. I remember when YouTube creator payouts were sub $1M across the entire platform. Keep building!

In less than a year, Fairground has paid out over $200,000 to AI content creators. Considering that last October, we had only paid out $100,000 makes this a tremendous milestone. And here’s the thing that matters most: For some creators, this helped them quit their day jobs to pursue AI content creation full-time. When we gathered in Laguna Beach recently for our company offsite, that’s the number that kept coming up in conversations. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but as a reminder of why Fairground exists. As a Gen-AI studio and distribution network powered by AI content creators, our goal is to get their work onto connected TVs and FAST channels. And our core principle, the one we keep coming back to and guiding our company’s direction, is simple: Fairness. In a space moving this fast, it's easy to chase every shiny object. The offsite helped us stay anchored and focused on what’s important. We talked about the nature of AI content creators and how they're the newest wave of the Creator Economy, fundamentally similar to what came before in some ways, and completely different in others. Figuring out who they are, and how to serve them best, is one of the most exciting challenges we are tackling as a team. Outside of how we’re serving our creators, we also spent time discussing how best to adapt to an always changing environment. Our CEO @cpetrien summed it up perfectly: "A cost of doing business is subscribing to multiple tools knowing that they improve at different times, making a competitive advantage simply being flexible with a willingness to experiment." We're building in one of the fastest-moving industries in the world. And we're just getting started, but if we’re not contributing to the industry and striving to make it better, we’re heading in the wrong direction.

Our #creator partners and studios have been so patient with us at Fairground over the last year as we have worked to arrange distribution to our friends in the #TV arena... it takes a while to do things properly - and we're getting out there into the big leagues. We're in the first innings of this. There's a long road ahead of lessons to learn, feedback to hear, improvements to make - but also cool moments like this when we lurch forward and take another step. We've got lots more coming too! If you're a creator, and making films and longer form content that's good for TV come sign up at our portal (lnkd.in/gkqEM43Y) - we'd love to see what you're working on.

This cracked me up!! 😹😹😹

We all know Robin Hood stole from the rich, but what did that really mean for the poor? In @ndorra's generative-AI film 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗻, we witness the theft of a gold coin from a desperate local farmer and its miraculous return by Robin of Loxley. This is AI-cinema like you’ve never seen before: the legend of Robin Hood brought to life with entirely new, cutting-edge creative tools. As part of @fairground_tv's long-form series 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗱: 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱, you’ll soon be able to stream 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗻 and more groundbreaking content on digital platforms, broadcasters and streaming services. 🎬 Follow Fairground for exclusive previews, creator spotlights and real-time updates as we redefine storytelling in the age of AI.

Want to watch a Victorian-era crime story with a supernatural twist? @HendoAi's 𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑬𝑱𝑨𝑪𝑲𝑫 is part of Fairground’s upcoming long-form series 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆: 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 and it’s a perfect showcase of how visionary AI creators are redefining cinematic storytelling. The film follows a modern-day protagonist who discovers a family journal from the 1800s, which leads him to uncover the dark legend of Spring-Heeled Jack, a demonic force behind a string of mysterious rooftop fires across London. TIMEJACKD blends gothic atmosphere, historical intrigue, and haunting AI-crafted visuals into an experience you won’t forget. 🎬 Follow Fairground for exclusive previews, creator spotlights, and updates as we redefine storytelling in the age of AI.

This is heartwarming and a reminder of the good in humanity. 200+ South African firefighters landed in Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire. Upon arrival, they greeted Canada with a special song and dance in the early hours of the morning...full of pride and resilience! #MZANZI1
