Lance Weiler is a storyteller, entrepreneur and thought leader. An alumni of the Sundance Screenwriting Lab, he is recognized as a pioneer because of the way he mixes storytelling and technology. WIRED magazine named him “one of 25 people helping to re-invent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood.” Always interested in experimenting with new ways to tell stories and engage audiences, Lance has designed experiences that have reached millions of people via theaters, mobile devices, and online. In recognition of these storytelling innovations, BUSINESSWEEK named Lance “One of the 18 Who Changed Hollywood.”
He served on a World Economic Forum steering committee for the future of content creation and teaches at Columbia University on the art, craft, and business of storytelling. Lance is currently developing a slate of film, tv, and gaming projects.
Thomas Brunt became involved in video production 40 years ago as a high school student interning with Doylestown’s local community access cable station. He then spent over 20 years as a broadcast mobile unit engineer facilitating production trailers for network level sports broadcasts.
As the next stage in his career, Tom decided to go back to local, creating TebWeb innovations, where he combines the creative with the technical to help clients ranging from local non profits to businesses, individuals and video and cinema based production companies.
As someone who has gravitated toward new technologies and techniques, Tom was early into the fray with computer animation, non-linear editing, 360/VR video, and drones for video production. It was a natural fit to now explore the uses of AI for film and video content.
