Media Space: Episode 9 - Filmmakers Lynn Shelton and Matt Vancil

Despite all the remarkable advances we've seen in digital technology over the last couple of decades, content creators still see story as the most immersive platform of them all. Digital media has merely extended the power of narrative to the interactive space, particularly through gaming. This episode of Media Space aims to mine this particularly rich mother lode for the Pacific Northwest -- as a center for both film and interactive entertainment. We'll convene leading practitioners on how story is now just the starting point, as these innovative content creators use it to weave whole new worlds online and offline. Joining Hanson is Lynn Shelton, award-winning director of 'We Go Way Back," "My Effortless Brilliance," "Humpday," and the MTV web series "$5 Cover Seattle," and Matt Vancil, the writer, director and creator of "JourneyQuest" and "The Gamers."
