Living a Made Up Life and Getting Away With It!

This presentation was created for, and given, at Ignite Portland in February 2008. Presenters had 5 minutes (15 slides, 20 seconds per slide) to share their topic with over 750 members of the audience. Mine was the only presentation that day that was focused on a rather serious issue - overcoming personal trauma to create a life by design rather than one of survival and status quo. To see the video of the presentation that accompanies this slide show, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM6qECYlE9I. PRESENTATION INTRO In 1965 I was sexually abused by my father – I was 5. In 1973 I was held hostage by the American Indian Movement in my home at Wounded Knee – I was 12. These two events showed me the process and course of violence, and its debilitating results. Unlike my oppressors/abusers in these two situations, I chose a different pathway - love - and the tool I use to infect others with it is art. This presentation and the accompanying video is one telling of that tale.

Identities: story

The interviews touch on caring for siblings as a child, growing up with family members who had disabilities, and challenging people's views of those with disabilities. The document also discusses how sharing memories with others allows people to understand differences in experiences and helps in establishing a sense of identity.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
