SIRT's John Helliker and Dave Dexter have been invited to participate on panels that focus on Virtual Reality:
Dialogues VR/360 - Creative Concept meets Practical Design
When balancing compelling cinematic storytelling with a technology still in an experimental stage, creative, production, and post-production teams must work together in uncharted territory to build cohesive blueprints for VR projects. Trailblazers in the field walk us through the unique challenges and creative possibilities of this burgeoning medium.

Dialogues VR/360 - Mapping Sustainable Business Models
Just as the film industry embraced early digital technologies, which have now evolved into the SVOD platforms, OTT, and on-demand services we see today, there is now mass movement into Virtual Reality. Companies are formulating strategies on how best to monetize this new technology and the content available. This discussion will examine the business models they are exploring, look at how they plan to overcome the challenges associated with evolving technology, and highlight the ways the film industry and filmmakers could best exploit the financial opportunities VR presents.
