Collaborate to Innovate: A Networking Opportunity for Producers to Meet Digital Media and Gaming Experts
9:30 am - noon Friday, Dec. 4
session room: Mayfair 3
Taking linear broadcast projects to online and gaming platforms can present new possibilities in creativity, finance and audience reach. The key to a successful transition lies in the collaboration of teams with multi-disciplinary expertise. This session gives the opportunity to a limited number of experienced filmmakers interested in convergence to meet one-on-one with Australia's leading digital media and gaming experts. The morning will provide an overview of techniques and possibilities followed by 15-minute one-on-one sessions for targeted advice and potential collaboration with any or all of the digital specialists. Film makers interested in participating can apply by email to Mackenzie Muldoon.
