UnionDocs, a center for documentary art in Brooklyn, NY, will host a workshop in transmedia storytelling with five artists, game designers and storytellers to showcase and discuss their exploration and development of innovative approaches to visual storytelling. As interest in transmedia has grown over the past couple years, many misconceptions and lack of understanding surround it.

Join in the public discussion with Designer Takaaki Okada (ConditionONE), game designer Nick Fortugno (Diner Dash), new media strategist Brian Newman (sub-genre), filmmakers Amam Ali and Bassam Tariq (30 Mosques), and producer and strategist John Bruce (Forward Mapworks) as they shed light on their emergent work that utilizes a transmedia approach. Hear how projects are produced, campaigns initiated, and business models developed  through case studies and critical discussion.

The event will take place on Sunday, January 29th at 4:00 pm at UnionDocs. Visit their website for further information on the event.
