Digital media requires a large degree of negotiation. Of course, we negotiate salaries and contracts. But we also negotiate in the sense of "overcoming," as you might negotiate a steep mountain pass.  We are making our way through, bargaining with the exigencies of fate, budgets, deadlines -- the push and pull between our creative vision and the realities of storytelling as an industry.  The question on the floor is, “how do we get to where we want to go?”

 

This panel will set industry leaders in conversation about their own experiences around navigating an ever-changing digital landscape. The discussion will center around expectations vs. realities, representation, and future art-making. How did they arrive at careers in creative media? Who did they find when they got there? What new challenges are they negotiating now?
