Revodia in Los Angeles and San Francisco: two weeks, two awards at Google DeepMind.
In October 2026, Revodia founder and CEO Ghali Benslimane spent two weeks in the United States, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The goal: present Revodia Originals to the people building the next era of entertainment, and understand what the American market expects from a new kind of studio.
Los Angeles: LA Tech Week
LA Tech Week brings together studios, streaming platforms, investors and the AI companies changing how films and series are made. Over six days, Ghali attended sessions including New Hollywood Stack and the AI LAX Summit, as well as events hosted by Comcast and OpenArt. He met executives from streaming platforms, studios, talent management, entertainment law and AI model companies. In many of these conversations, Third Bell did the talking: a complete series, produced in-house, already watched on YouTube.
San Francisco: two awards at Google DeepMind
In San Francisco, Ghali took part in the GenJam hosted at Google DeepMind, an AI filmmaking competition. His short film Little Wing, the story of a pink bee with a broken wing, won the Audience Award and second place in the jury vote. The rest of the stay was spent with founders, investors and filmmakers across the Bay Area.
What we heard
Two questions came back in almost every conversation with investors: how an original series made with AI earns money, and how its intellectual property is protected.
Our answer to the first: Revodia owns every world it creates, and each one can earn in several ways, through advertising, brand partnerships and licensing, and later through adaptations and streaming deals. On the second: our production pipeline records the lineage of every shot, down to which assets, references and versions were used. That traceability is part of how we build IP that can be sold and adapted.
What comes next
The trip opened discussions with platforms, AI companies and studios, which we will share once they are confirmed. Meanwhile, the work continues: new episodes, a second world in development, and the build-out of our production team in Casablanca.
