Other Details: Variety and International Esq's capital and media conference brought together studio execs, business leaders and innovators for a night that was all business in the front, with absolutely no party in the back. A panel of guests including Variety TV Editor Andrew Wallenstein and Ben Silverman of Electus, (the production studio responsible for gems like "Mob Wives") spoke of the technological revolution and what it means for the future of L.A. "Social media is what we used to call friendly reporters," said introductory speaker, Mayor Villaraigosa, starting the night off with a very necessary laugh. [Antonio Villaraigosa via]
