About

The glamorous studio story is a lie. This is what actually happens behind the scenes. A candid look inside the world’s most interesting studios and production companies… and the business decisions fueling their best work. I’m Joel Pilger. I ran Impossible Pictures for 20 years. Today in Forum™, I help founders run their studio on purpose. If you work in motion, animation, live action, sound, or experiential… this is where founders get real about the business.
