Like! Special Meetup with Speaker Adipat Virdi (and mingling of course) - Transmedia Toronto (Toronto, ON) - Meetup

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Adipat Virdi has now written and produced various projects, key amongst these is a Transmedia Project, SEARCHING, to raise awareness and highlight the issues around honour-based crimes. The project includes a film, novel and ARG and was a finalist for the Sundance New Frontier Story Lab.

He has subsequently set up Maaji Productions to develop media and entertainment ideas with the philosophy of creating socially responsible projects that nurture new talent and create innovative opportunities. Alongside Maaji, he has set up and run Transmediology (http://www.transmediology.com) as a community of Transmedia experts and consultancy hub for designing experiences, engaging audiences and managing communities within brands and storyworlds. This runs alongside the FB group (of the same name) which is aspiring to become a hub for practitioners in the field.

His presentation will cover:

*His project: SEARCHING: the Story and the Storyworld

*Learning from TIFF and the future of Transmedia in the film industry

*Transmedia and the European perspective Vs. A global understanding.
