This should be very interesting and something we will be talking about in the class. Hope you can make it!
The Power of Online Storytelling:
The Screenwriters Colony will sponsor a panel discussion event in New York City at Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts addressing the advent of online storytelling, particularly Web serials, fiction video series that are broadcasted online. Moderated by Virginia Heffernan, The Medium columnist for The New York Times Magazine, panelists will include writers who are honing their craft and building their names on the Web and executives who are finding ways to expand on this work, featuring Mary Feuer (writer/producer, lonelygirl15, With the Angels), Jeff Gomez (transmedia producer, James Cameron’s Avatar, Halo), Amy B. Harris (writer/producer Sex and the City, Puppy Love), Thom Woodley and Kathleen Grace (writers, The Burg, The All-For-Nots), and Dina Kaplan (co-founder, blip.tv). The panel will focus on creative and business opportunities for screenwriters on the Web.
