What is Fabulist?

The glamorous studio story is a lie.
This is what actually happens behind the scenes.

A candid look inside the world’s most interesting studios and production companies…
and the business decisions fueling their best work.

I’m Joel Pilger.
I ran Impossible Pictures for 20 years.
Today in Forum™, I help founders run their studio on purpose.

If you work in motion, animation, live action, sound, or experiential…
this is where founders get real about the business.
