3:35-4:25PM In the Directors Chair: On-Stage interview with Matthew Heineman
Matthew Heineman, a two-time DGA Award winner as a documentarian for "Cartel Land" (also nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar) and "City of Ghosts," made his narrative feature debut with last year’s "A Private War." "A Private War" stars Rosamund Pike as Marie Colvin, one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time, an utterly fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the frontline of conflicts across the globe to give voice to the voiceless. Back in January, "A Private War" earned Heineman a DGA Award nod for Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director. Heineman thus joined Martin Scorsese as the only directors ever to be nominated for both narrative and documentary DGA Awards. Heineman will discuss his filmmaking career, his Showtime docuseries "The Trade" and his foray into commercialmaking via production house Superprime.
4:30-5:30PM Panel Discussion: Living on the Cutting Edge Of Content
As lines continue to blur between advertising and entertainment, the opportunity to create cutting-edge content has grown exponentially. This discussion features panelists who live on that edge, exploring, meshing and realizing hybrid forms that span different genres, platforms, narrative filmmaking, documentary, music, live action, VR and other varied disciplines.
Confirmed panelists to date:
- Deb Archambault, Executive Producer, McCann NY
- David Cullipher, Creative Technologist, The Devil You Know
- Jeffrey A. Greenbaum, Managing Partner, Frankfurt Kurnit
- David Rolfe, EVP, Director of Integrated Production, BBDO NY
