Forging Meaningful Connections Across the Globe: Why Now is the Time

As we navigate through significant global changes, the content industry stands at a crossroads, undergoing an extraordinary transformation. The aftermath of the global pandemic has not only altered our daily lives but has also profoundly influenced the way content is produced and consumed. The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence, accelerated by global crises, has led to one of the most substantial disruptions in recent memory – a historic strike by writers and actors in Hollywood.

We find ourselves in a paradoxical situation. Despite the overwhelming abundance of content available, the collective experience of shared storytelling, once a cornerstone of our cultural conversations, has become increasingly rare. The rise of individual content creation, particularly among younger generations, has ushered in an era where everyone is a creator, focused on gaining likes and growing their audience.

However, even amid these changes, the global revenue in the video streaming market continues to surge, projected to reach an astonishing US $95.88 billion in 2023, with expectations of continued growth in the coming years. Amazon’s acquisition of MGM for US $8.5 billion highlights concerns about potential consolidation in the industry, signaling a possible shift towards a studio monopoly.

Redefining the Narrative: Bridging the Creator-Consumer Gap

In recent decades, technology and streaming services have empowered people to connect globally. At IKIGAI INTERNATIONAL, our mission is twofold: to introduce the global audience to world-leading stories from filmmakers and to provide exceptional financial opportunities for investors. By bridging the gap between creators and consumers, we create a win-win outcome where creatives can realise their vision, and investors can achieve significant financial gains. We connect filmmakers with investors who share a belief in the project’s potential, fostering collaborations that benefit both parties and contribute to the evolution of the content industry.

Leadership and Vision: My Proven Track Record

As the Founder and CEO of IKIGAI INTERNATIONAL, I bring extensive experience in the film industry to assure you that your investments are in capable and confident hands. I have produced over 20 films at Continuance Pictures and developed a horror feature that was featured and recognised by the New York Times in 2023. Additionally, a US feature I produced was successfully released theatrically in North America by Shout Studio. Over the last six years, I have been an on-ground producer, working closely with industry creatives and specialists in finance. This accumulated experience has been fostered to effectively run IKIGAI INTERNATIONAL.

A Vision for the Future: Global Content Media Company

As we chart our course towards the future, IKIGAI INTERNATIONAL aspires to become one of the first leading global content asset management companies. Our goal is to contribute to the creation of meaningful content and manage, optimise, and leverage these assets on a global scale. By doing so, we aim to provide creators with the tools and support needed to maximise the impact of their creations.

We focus on crafting a future where stories are not only told but strategically managed to resonate with audiences worldwide. I look forward to your participation in this transformative journey.
