You won’t believe the guest list we just saw!

The 2026 San Sebastián-CAA Media Finance Creative Investors’ Conference is gearing up. It’s their fifth time doing this, and wow, they know how to pick a crowd. This event is co-organized with CAA Media Finance, a really big name in the industry.

We just got confirmation on some super exciting attendees. Ryan Kavanaugh from Acme AI & FX will be there. Laura Austin-Little from Black Bear International too. Elissa Federoff, representing Neon, is also confirmed. Then there’s Ron Halpern from StudioCanal, and Rob Williams from Sumerian Pictures.

Big names, right? But wait, there’s more!

They’ll be joining Roeg Sutherland from CAA Media Finance. Plus, the amazing Christine Vachon from Killer Films. And Patrick Wachsberger from 193. It’s like a who’s who of getting films made.

We can already picture the creative energy. It feels like a vibrant meeting of minds, a place where the next big movie dreams start to take a colorful shape.

Speaking of big names and tech, Ryan Kavanaugh’s Acme AI & FX definitely catches our eye. It makes us think about all the cool stuff happening with films and artificial intelligence lately. Like how Busan is buzzing about AI films and mini-dramas! Read more here!

This conference is where film ideas get the push they need. It’s where money meets imagination, helping bring awesome stories to life. A real melting pot of talent and opportunity.

We’re always on the lookout for who’s backing what. Imagine the conversations happening there! We wonder what kind of projects these investors will be eyeing. Maybe a dramatic story like the one about the man who built India’s spy agency? Karan Johar is interested!

And hey, when you’re thinking about big names and their lives, sometimes things get real. Christina Applegate just shared a very honest look at her life lately. Check out her story.

Our Take

We think this event is super exciting for the film world. It shows that even with all the changes, people still believe in great stories and the power of cinema. This mix of creativity and funding makes us so hopeful for what’s next on screen!
