Lord David Puttnam spoke at an event at Sunderland University about the growth of streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, the acquisition of companies like 20th Century Fox by larger companies, and how dubbing has become a major job in the media industry. He lectured the audience about watching at least 70 movies per year and was not impressed that many had not seen the award-winning film Coda. After discussing streaming services and Coda for over an hour, he concluded by saying this is a good time to find work in the media industry as studios are looking for new ideas.
