Navigating Hollywood’s Creative Machine: A Q&A with Etan Marciano

Описание: Celebrity Culture Club presents From Marvel to Mythology: Q&A with Hollywood Screenwriter and Mythology Coordinator Etan Marciano.

How do blockbusters grow from singular ideas into expansive story-universes? In this session Etan Marciano, Hollywood Scriptwriter (GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE TO DIVORCE, DIETLAND, CITADEL, SWARM) and former Manager of Mythology Development for AGBO, the Russo Brothers' production company, currently in development on a feature film with Annapurna Pictures, unpacks how myth-making, continuity, world-building and cross-platform strategy fuel today’s entertainment ecosystems, from comic-book origins to global streaming universes. Gain insight into the often-hidden machinery of Hollywood’s creative engine: how scripts evolve, how story worlds are mapped and maintained, how a single character or narrative strand can ripple across media and markets, and how storytelling powers Hollywood’s creative machine. Etan is in conversation with Dr Hannah Yelin whose research focuses on the politics of celebrity culture.

This event was part of the 6th International Creative Industries Festival organised by the Creative Industries Research and Innovation Network at Oxford Brookes University.
