Earth is the best. 🤷🏽♀️
Are we finally getting it right on sustainability? Also, Nicole is officially back, we're bopping across the Atlantic, Rae was with the most influential people in the world, and I talked to the Coach.
Hi BB’s!!
Happy Friday!! Happy Earth Day week! (it was Tuesday but surely the earth deserves the whole week, amirite?) As always it was a big week for us, and we got to see so many friends in the wild! lets dive in.
HOUSE NEWS
NICOLE IS BACK, BABY!!!
You are gonna hear more from Nicole as she re-enters the Culture House mix over the course of the next couple of weeks. But until then just know we missed her more than she missed us and we’re fine with that. WE’RE FINE. WITH. IT. Quit asking.
London Calling…
Next week, Mikhael is in London (there is going to be a lot of London for the CH girlies this year more on that later) to share a talk that we can’t wait for her to share: “How We Human Together.” It’s all about the tools of immersive involvement and designing experiences that welcome every kind of fan — from the deeply immersed to the casually curious —At Culture House Immersive, we’ve been incubating multiple tour-able immersive projects, each one an experiment in how we build shared worlds that are open, and joyful. Different types of participation isn’t just good design… it’s smart business. Culture House Immersive is all about how we start building more sustainable models for creativity, culture, and community. If you’re in London and at Experience Week, connect with Mikhael!! Slide into those DMs @mtgexperience on IG!
Time 100…
Rae represented CH at the TIME100 Summit in NYC this week! Shoutout to baddie Sade Muhammad, TIME’s CMO, for curating an electric day of connection and debate. The AI panel was a standout—Kate Crawford, renowned AI scholar and USC professor, was such a breath of fresh air- pulling no punches about paying attention to how the current administration is impacting AI related policy. And we’re always thrilled to see our Culture House fam moving in the world!
TRENDING…Climate Success Stories
This week, Allison Begalman, a founder of the Hollywood Climate Summit, wrote this great article in The Hollywood Reporter: Finally Some Good News: Hollywood’s New Environmental Tools Are Working
We are nothing if not proud tree huggers over here at Culture House, you know already of our love for
and Sage Lenier, and the Hollywood Climate Summit itself! But we are also realistic, pragmatic people and know that climate in particular can feel daunting and intractable. So we were thrilled when Allison dropped gems in the trades and told us all the things showbiz is getting right on climate. I encourage you to read the entire Sustainability Issue that THR put together. The stories we share and the stories we tell make us feel less alone in caring, in doing, in trying to make the world a bit better. Some highlights include:Every Day Action cuts down on food waste by delivering uneaten meals from Netflix, Disney and Sony productions to shelters and food banks
Green Screen, an organization co-founded by CAA Foundation, helps creatives tell climate-focused stories, which is what they did for the long-running medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy for their climate crisis episode
Here Comes the Sun: How Netflix Romance Ransom Canyon Broke New Ground for Solar Power: Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, the hit Western series became the streamer’s first project to run almost entirely on the sun.
