Event on Wednesday

The AFI Dallas film festival is going on this week, and there's a talk tomorrow evening that fits in with our current discussion about film and games. The panel takes place at 5:30 PM tomorrow, April 2nd, on the 16th floor Wet Deck at the W Dallas Victory Hotel. Free and open to the public.

BLURRING THE LINES: How Does the Film Industry Impact the Gaming World?...and Vice-versa
Co-hosted by the Dallas chapter of the International Game Developers Association
Today’s video games are complex creations with scripts, art direction and fully-developed characters. How are these games impacted by film and its creative practices and storytelling techniques? And how has a new generation of gamers forced the entertainment industry to reexamine the projects it puts onto the big screen? We’ll examine how the creative and business model for each industry is changing.

Moderator:
Gordon Keith, The Gordon Keith Show Panelists: Randy Pitchford; Marty Stratton; and John O’Keefe
