I’m hosting a panel for the Academy next Wednesday, May 15th, to discuss how technology impacts cinema — both the kinds of stories we tell, and how we tell those stories.
We often think of technology in terms of cinematography and visual effects, but I wanted to look at its impact on writers and editors.
With that goal, we’ve assembled a great group:
– Writer **Mark Boal** (Academy Award nominee for “Zero Dark Thirty”)
– Editors **Maryann Brandon** and **Mary Jo Markey** (“Star Trek Into Darkness”)
– Editor **William Goldenberg** (Academy Award winner for “Argo,” nominee for “Zero Dark Thirty”)
– Writer **Damon Lindelof** (“Star Trek Into Darkness”)
– Editor **Dylan Tichenor** (Academy Award nominee for “Zero Dark Thirty”)
We’ll have clips and quips and anecdotes, along with a conversation about what’s coming next. No word yet on whether any of it will be available online down the road, so try to come if you can.
Tickets are [on sale now][1]. Just $5. And only $3 for students and Academy members.
