Description

Kate Krantz, the Chief Content Officer for Crypt TV, began her career by working for William Morris Endeavor. From there, she went to work for Walt Disney Studios in live-action production. That gave her a chance to observe how Disney developed characters and intellectual property beloved by millions around the world. Those observations helped her manage Crypt TV's universe of monsters, which have brought Crypt TV over 1.5 billion worldwide views on social media and led to prominent partnerships with Netflix, Facebook, and more.

Kate was also one of the panelists at a SXSW 2019 producers roundtable. Some of the things we discuss in this episode include

• How to build relationships at film festivals and other industry events
• Smart things that Disney does to keep their IP relevant for generations
• How filmmakers can partner with Crypt TV to build long-term careers
• What a compelling monster movie involves
