MEET OUR INDUSTRY NETWORK ADVISOR NORTH AMERICA JOHN SHAW @ShawJshaw11045 “The future of cinema belongs to those who understand its past — and can translate it into what’s next.” Few professionals in North America bring the depth, credibility, and perspective that John Shaw carries into the industry today. He began at 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures during a defining era of modern cinema, contributing to distribution strategy around films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Godfather. He negotiated the breakout release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, led domestic distribution for Benji, and served as consultant to George Lucas on Willow. From independent breakthroughs to major studio campaigns, he has worked at every level of the theatrical ecosystem. As founder of Movieline International and Film Booking Office Corporation, he pioneered weekend box office forecasting, film data aggregation, and exhibitor intelligence long before real-time analytics became the norm. Having witnessed the evolution from 35mm film to digital cinema, from regional booking offices to global data platforms, John understands the structural shifts that define each new era. As Industry Network Advisor North America, he is not looking backward — he is aligning experience with innovation, relationships with infrastructure, and cinema with its digital future. For XINI8, John is more than an advisor. He is a bridge between generations of the industry, a strategic compass grounded in real-world history, and a steady force guiding bold technological ambition. Together with John, the XINI8 team is not simply participating in change — we are helping shape the next era of global cinema. Your XINI8 Team 🍿 xini8.com
