SUMMARY My career goal is to work in licensing and distribution in the SVOD/AVOD/FAST space. For the last six
months, I have conducted research to maximize the monetization of short-lived, lost content. This
research has yielded results that prove users are still searching for this lost content and would be willing
to pay to watch it on an aggregated platform. The platform will generate new revenue for the studios
and create a unique library for users to discover new content.
