Interactive Media Governors Chris Thomes and Lori H. Schwartz, along with their Peer Group Executive Committee, invite you to:`
The Immersive Storytelling Revolution
Come one, come all for a fabulous evening of interactive learning and virtual networking. We'll open the virtual venue (from Filmocracy) early for pre-panel schmoozing, followed by our fantastic Immersive Storytelling Panel. Finally, we'll transition to our virtual holiday mixer with fun, festivities and a few special surprises. Everybody is invited, but space is limited. So don't delay! RSVP now for the virtual event of the holiday season.
As the television industry navigates the on-going challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, innovations in remote collaboration and virtual production have empowered filmmakers to create content safely, securely and efficiently. Immersive formats (VR/AR/MR) have been a significant beneficiary of this shift, as storytellers have embraced virtual tools to create the next generation of interactive programming. In this presentation, we’ll talk to creators, producers and strategists at the leading edge of immersive media to explore the production and distribution challenges, and opportunities they face in telling great stories about leveraging established IP in new formats.
