Week Two: Slum of Millionaires
In the context of this program, I think you need to decide if you are mostly working on the game, or the second character/narrative part.
Since we spent most of our time discussing a game:
The docSHIFT Summit
Cross platform Opportunities for Documentary Filmmakers!
"...an ambitious and fulfilling weekend." -docSHIFT summit attendee
As the landscape for documentary storytelling expands, the need to be able to tell our stories on multiple screens is fast becoming a reality. Agencies, game companies, publishing companies, educators, broadcasters - they are all talking about the need to capture audiences with well crafted meaningful stories and cross-platform roll outs. Sure there are a lot of unknowns but at the docSHIFT Summit we are proposing it’s time for documentary filmmakers to boldly leverage our incredible ability to tell real stories and position ourselves as the go-to people in this new and evolving marketplace.
Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the conversation!
