The Executive Multi-platform Workshop: Building your production for the digital age!

09 February 2010

A free three day workshop hosted by International Digital Emmy award winning producer Marcus Gillezeau and ScreenWest. The workshop is aimed exclusively at Western Australian media executives grappling with gearing their companies for multi platform production and digital distribution.

  • Imagine transferring 100 hours of HD rushes in less than an hour to another country.
  • Imagine an audience of 4 million playing your ‘who done it' game simultaneously.
  • Imagine your 26 part TV series being downloaded in less than 60 seconds - from your website - and being paid for it.
  • Imagine selling a million copies of the companion e-book to your series... and being paid for it directly.
  • This is the reality of what may happen with the productions you're developing now.
