As the largest film festival in the US, Sundance champions and curates independent stories for the stage and screen. New Frontier at Sundance Institute is a dynamic initiative created to identify and foster independent artists working at the convergence of film, art, media, live performance, music and technology. It provides the highest level of curation in the emerging field, incorporating fiction, non-fiction and hybrid projects to showcase VR storytelling, multi-media installations, performances and films. In this talk, Hussain considers the future of storytelling and the impact of technology on this, exploring how how digital is changing distribution and business models.
