Actor Kevin Spacey delivered a powerful keynote address at the Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival this week, urging broadcast networks to give the consumers what they want by following the new Netflix model. That model helped the Netflix’ original series that Spacey stars in, “House of Cards,” garner 9 Emmy nominations.
Saying, “we have learned the lessons that the music industry didn’t,” Spacey argued against the traditional pilot process behind network TV, and support for the freedom that Netflix gives both content creators and viewers. His speech is a must watch for anyone in the media industry. Check out the condensed version here, and the full keynote address here.
