Wired Sussex with onedotzero present The Expanded Film Maker, a special innervisions panel event and networking session for digital film makers, animators, designers and students.

This will include short presentations from key moving image creatives and an open discussion exploring the current ‘hybrid’ moving image arena and how this is affecting both production and creative processes. The session will be chaired by Anna Doyle, onedotzero festival assistant director and featured speakers include Brighton based director / designers Steve Glashier and Carolina Melis.
