The NYC Transmedia Meetup was founded as a monthly gathering of creative professionals looking to discuss the emerging field of multi-platform storytelling. By 2011, the group had evolved from a loose confederation of storytellers into a community that would become known as StoryCode. That same year, NYFF launched its Convergence section. On the fifth anniversary of both programs, StoryCode cofounder Mike Knowlton and a panel of key players from the New York interactive scene—game designers, immersive theater directors, virtual reality producers, and interactive filmmakers—reflect on where we’ve been and imagine where we’re headed.

Panelists:

Vassiliki Khonsari – 1979 Revolution (NYFF 2015)
Michael Rau – Temping (NYFF 2015)
Ram Devineni – Priya’s Mirror (NYFF 2016)
Winslow Porter – Giant VR (NYFF 2016)
Milica Zec – Giant VR (NYFF 2016)
