Journey from Feature Film to Internet Fiction
When Danish Film Producer Vibeke Windelov (Lars von Trier, Susanne Bier) and producing partner Stinna Lassen joined Cloud Chamber, an online fiction mystery, they had no idea of the journey they were embarking on.
The project is the first of its kind in Denmark, the two producers had to break down many doors and barriers in film and gaming to work in a field that neither industry - and nor financiers - called theirs.
They will talk about what it's like to get the game and film industry to not only talk but collaborate, about making a switch from producing blockbusters for Oscar-winning directors to venturing into fields without any obvious financiers and in Lassen's case, to come straight out of film school and meet an entirely different reality from what any kind of education can prepare you for.
