## Resource

The Daily Wire took a massive swing on its most ambitious entertainment project yet, an expansion into Hollywood-style filmmaking designed to scale culture, not just comment on it. In this interview, the strategy behind that risk is broken down in detail: from acquiring early films, shifting into full production, and building out bigger and bigger projects like Terror on the Prairie and the ambitious “Pen Dragon” series.
