Description CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: THE FUTURE OF INTERACTIVE FILM Advertisers have been at the forefront of exploring interactive storytelling online, but filmmakers have been slower to embrace the possibilities. How can techniques developed for the internet and physical installations be coupled with the filmmakers' art to create an entirely new category of digital entertainment? How can content creators leverage technology trends like social media, the prevalence of smart phones, and the convergence of the internet and television?
