Collage Launches to Bridge AI-First Studios and Hollywood
Collage, a new management and investment firm, has launched to serve as a strategic intermediary between emerging AI-focused production companies and the traditional Hollywood ecosystem. Founded by former talent agent Dante DeSario and investor Michael Lambert, the company aims to guide AI studios through complex industry landscapes, including guild regulations, copyright concerns, and studio bureaucracy. By acting as both a consultant and an investor, Collage seeks to foster human-led creative projects that utilize AI technology. The firm intends to demystify AI for legacy studios, helping them identify reputable partners while promoting a more nuanced understanding of how artificial intelligence can enhance, rather than replace, the craft of storytelling.
