Tuesday, April 2
Writers Guild of America, East (250 Hudson Street, Suite 700, New York City, NY 10013)
Panel: 6:30PM
Reception: 8PM
Join Austin Film Festival and the Writers Guild of America, East for a conversation on the emerging world of writing for audio fiction. Featuring a panel of podcast creators, this discussion will examine the unique opportunities in telling a story for an acoustic medium and the recent explosion of narrative podcasts transitioning to film and television.
With audio storytelling on the rise, there are more opportunities than ever before to get your story out there. This emerging medium is changing the traditional landscape of storytelling, allowing writers the creative freedom to break in, share their stories, and connect with an audience.
Hear from writers as they discuss the creative challenges of storytelling in an audio-only world.
