Check out Digital Hollywood Content Summit speaker, Josh Bednarsky’s latest series, Crowned, where “Being a Princess is No Fairytale.”
Here’s a brief synopsis:
In the MAGICAL WORLD of PARTY PRINCESSES, there lived a young fair maiden named Macey. She is a damsel in distress (“getting evicted from her apartment”) and needs a job fast! Her best friend, Vianka, already a gainfully employed Party Princess, helps her get a job with her Princess company, Crowned Entertainment. Together, the Princesses are dispatched to parties to bring beauty, mirth, and magic, to the birthday children of the world.

Embracing change: Participants at Digital Hollywood's Media Summit ponder the impact of new technologies:
“This year’s event, which took place in early March at Midtown Manhattan’s McGraw-Hill Building, reinforced the view that dramatic changes in the media landscape can be weathered. Many new developments, in fact, like the jaw-dropping success of Netflix’s unprecedented David Fincher/Kevin Spacey “House of Cards” original Web marathon and the increasing capabilities of mobile devices, are downright thrilling.”
