The 20 New Rules: What we must ALL TRY TO DO before shooting

24.11 2009

Veteran film producer and PttP 2009′s keynote speaker, Ted Hope is prepping a new film with the shortest amount of time he’s ever had to prep a movie.

Power to the Pixel Think Tank: PART ONE

The potential for a  participatory, collaborative cross-media movement that can renew creative industry models or strike out into new territory was the key theme of the 2009 Power to the Pixel Think Tank in London. Michael Gubbins reports.

The Think Tank was made up of a range of leading thinkers and practitioners in the cross-media field from around the world.
