I will be heading down to South West Screen / Just-B Productions Crossing the Void conference in Bristol on Jan 29th which aims to bring TV and New Media Indies together to explore the collaborative opportunities (borne out of interest or necessity) which exist within this rapidly changing sector.
Its not just a game of survival of the fittest, TV always needs to do what TV does well, as does the domain of the interactive independents. But with the commissioning landscape and audience expectations changing the questions are: what are commissioners expectations, how do you pitch for cross platform content and how do you find the business opportunity in the first place. And do businesses have the capacity and skills to take advantage.
Cue that Interactive Msc in Leadership and Management again…..
