Maximizing Production Value with Film IQ

Kayvan Mashayekh Episode 7

A telemetry-based approach to maximizing efficiency in modern film production. 

In this episode from January 2026 during the final Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Producers Without Borders founder Kayvan Mashayekh sits down with John Corser, former Senior Vice President of Global Production and Production Technology at NBCUniversal to discuss John's new technology company, Film IQ, focused on bringing real-time intelligence to film and television production.
 
John compares Film IQ’s approach to the telemetry used by Formula One teams. Just as F1 engineers analyze live data to optimize performance on the track, Film IQ aggregates and analyzes the constant stream of production data to provide immediate feedback on schedule, efficiency, and resource allocation.
 
The conversation explores how small to large scale productions can use data-driven insights to stay on time, control costs, and ultimately put more value on screen without sacrificing creative intent.
