US Business News: Thank you for joining us, Shawn. It’s been an exceptional year for the film industry, and SAS Movie Studio has been at the forefront of this resurgence. How do you see the industry evolving, especially after the setbacks from the pandemic?
Shawn Anthony Sequeira: Thank you for having me. Absolutely, the industry has been evolving in incredible ways. While the pandemic posed challenges, it also forced us to innovate. At SAS, we believe in not just responding to change but anticipating it. Our mission has been to create opportunities and support the next generation of filmmakers as they navigate this new cinematic landscape.
US Business News: Speaking of opportunities, we’ve noticed SAS Movie Studio’s focus on internships and hands-on learning experiences. Can you tell us more about that?
Sequeira: Of course. We’ve seen a surge of talent entering the industry, eager to make their mark. But what sets a professional apart is not just passion but experience. SAS Movie Studio offers a holistic approach to learning by integrating our interns directly into the filmmaking process. They’re not bystanders; they’re active participants, working with equipment that has been a part of major films, like Avatar, and learning from seasoned professionals.
US Business News: That’s quite impressive. How does SAS Movie Studio integrate with other industries, such as fashion, for instance?
Sequeira: We’ve recently launched The LA Fashion Show, which has been a fantastic platform for budding designers and models. This is part of our vision to merge different creative worlds. Fashion and film have always had a symbiotic relationship, and by bringing them together, we’re opening up even more opportunities for our interns and young professionals to explore and find their niche.
