Hollywood Reporter: How does Vessel CEO Jason Kilar explain to his traditional media contacts the value in shortform online video? “The first thing I say is, ‘Media is generational,’ ” Kilar said. “Somebody who is 55 makes a choice to turn on a remote and sit in front of a big screen and watch ‘CSI,’ and that’s great. There’s business to be had there. Someone who is 25 makes a decision to turn on their smartphone and click play on something that is not ‘CSI.’ That’s the difference. We have to step away from our biases based on how old we are and the kinds of media that we consume.”
