Darren is the creative force behind Melbourne VR film studio Ignition Immersive. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in filmmaking and tech-driven startups, he is perfectly positioned for the convergence of filmmaking and technology that VR presents. His studio is forged by the potential of VR, AR and MR as incredibly powerful tools that offer filmmakers new ways to construct narrative and tell their stories, audiences new ways to experience and interact with these stories, and ushers in a new era of platforms and technologies that will fundamentally change the economies around both creativity and consumption. Darren will tell us how Australia has the chance to be a leader in Immersive Storytelling and how artists can tap into that opportunity.
