VC Luncheon: Behind the Scenes: Innovation, Investment, and the Business of Film in Louisville

Join us for Venture Connectors’ January luncheon: Behind the Scenes: Innovation, Investment, and the Business of Film in Louisville

Kick off the new year with a dynamic conversation exploring how the film and creative industries are innovating—and what it takes to build a sustainable, investable creative ecosystem in a city like Louisville. We’re excited to welcome Gill Holland and Soozie Eastman for a fireside-style conversation on the intersection of film, entrepreneurship, capital, and community.This discussion will go beyond the art of filmmaking to unpack the systems, partnerships, and economic realities that power a modern creative industry—from talent development and infrastructure to financing models and ecosystem support.

What to Expect:
Gain insight into how creative industries innovate, scale, and sustain momentum. Gill and Soozie will share lessons from building and supporting film and creative ventures, discuss how cities can intentionally support creative economies, and explore where founders, investors, and community leaders can play a role in shaping what comes next.

Who Should Attend:
Founders, investors, operators, and community leaders interested in innovation beyond traditional tech—along with filmmakers, producers, creatives, and professionals working in or adjacent to the film and creative industries. Especially relevant for anyone curious about creative economies, place-based entrepreneurship, and how capital, culture, and community intersect to drive sustainable growth.
