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. Just $5. And only $3 for students and Academy members.
