Today, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Professor Chris Hansen, the director of Baylor University’s Film & Digital Media division (and director of Best of Show Winner, Care & Feeding of an American Messiah), and his graduate media class about World of Depleted, the creative community that MicroFilmmaker Magazine has helped launch. It was great to share what changes in technology and society it’s inspired by and what it is part of the groundwork for in the future.
I really enjoyed chatting with the next group of storytellers to come out of Baylor and sharing what things seemed relevant for their work in the media. In regard to Depleted, we chatted about the types of stories we explore, what sort of interaction contributors can expect to have, and the interesting connections between the Post-Apocalyptic and Gothic subcultures in Depleted.
