Digital media is either a saviour of story-tellers, or a thief of copyright and income. In the nature of the medium, The Project Factory’s (Encore’s Best Cross-Platform Production Company) Guy Gadney will bring stories about his experiences of what works and what bombs online. He will cover the opportunities for television and filmmakers and open up the session to discuss projects from the audience. So come armed, ready to share your thoughts and arguments. This session will delve into the transmedia world like no other.
