A recent project that illustrates our approach is ITON (Independent Theater Owner's Network) — a decentralised film distribution network developed in collaboration with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. The 2024 Los Angeles deployment established a micro-network connecting three venues including the New Beverly Cinema, using Disrupter's proprietary networking technology.

The project addressed problems that will sound familiar to anyone managing cultural infrastructure: opaque accounting in traditional distribution, unpredictable revenue for independent venues, limited access for emerging creators, and geographic barriers to audience reach. Our technology provided transparent, auditable transactions and secure content distribution across the network. The roadmap includes expansion to New York, Chicago, and Toronto in 2026.

ITON matters as a reference point because it demonstrates our ability to deliver working technology for cultural industry clients who care deeply about creative integrity, fair economics, and operational transparency — not just technical specifications.

Tom Hajdu established Adelaide as Australia's first gigabit city in 2016, and as South Australia's Chief Innovator led a White House delegation that secured Adelaide's position as the first international city in the US Ignite Smart City Program — navigating government stakeholders at multiple levels and delivering tangible infrastructure outcomes.

As Professor and Chair of Creative Technologies at the University of Adelaide, he founded the Sia Furler Institute, a centre for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. He co-founded the Art Intelligence Agency and launched the world's first AI Artist in Residence program — recognised in the New York Times and on 60 Minutes, with outputs exhibited at Harvard's Norton Lectures and the Smithsonian Museum.

The engagement bridged government, academic, creative, and technology communities — including service on the Digital Advisory Group for the Australia Council for the Arts and mentorship through the Founder Institute.
