The MovieLabs Industry Forum has announced the formation of its Leadership Council alongside inaugural members.
Officially launched in January 2025, the MovieLabs Industry Forum aims to bring together media technology companies from around the world to support initiatives to drive next generation production and creativity. Published in 2019, the industry white paper The MovieLabs 2030 Vision laid out 10 foundational principles that have increasingly become goals for the industry, as it seeks to enhance collaboration and work with breakthrough technologies such as AI.
The organisation confirmed its studio members (Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Universal City Studios, LLC., The Walt Disney Studios, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) will be joined by Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Avid, Dolby, DreamWorks Animation, and Skywalker Sound in the Forum's Leadership Council.
CEO Richard Berger announced Leon Silverman as the chair of the MovieLabs Industry Forum. Founder and an advisor to the board of the Hollywood Professional Association, Silverman's career has included senior roles at companies including Walt Disney Studios and Netflix. He is also actively involved in executive committee roles at both the Television Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The council will guide key focus areas to help grow a more secure, interoperable and effective media creation ecosystem, said the organisation.
Inaugural members of the MovieLabs Industry Forum include: CREE8, EMAM, Evercast, Final Draft, Gunpowder, Holli, MASV, LucidLink, NexSpec, Palo Alto Networks, Perfect Memory, Perception Grid, Perpetual Intelligence, Postudio, Prime Focus Technologies, REDSpace, The Rebel Fleet, Saturation.io, Scripto, Scriptation, Signiant, Sohonet, Sony Group Corporation, Tedial, TrackIt, United Talent Agency, Yamdu and Zixi.
Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs said: It is essential for our industry to continue to embrace emerging technologies in ways that empower storytellers and the entire creative community. While much work lies ahead, we are gathering the right companies and voices to realise the 2030 Vision future that has inspired so many. Together with our member studios, the Leadership Council, and new members of the Forum, and with Leon Silverman as Chair, we are well positioned for success.
Leon Silverman, chair of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, added: We're at a crucial point in our industry's evolution, where collaboration is essential to building a future that honorus our past while embracing innovation. I'm encouraged by the enthusiasm of our Leadership Council and growing global community of Forum members who are committed to working together to realise our shared vision for our creative industry's future.
With membership open, the forum invites companies from across the spectrum of media and entertainment to join. Companies can apply for membership at www.movielabs.com/IndustryForum.
