Public Newsroom #61: Making TV with Aymar Jean Christian
@ Build Coffee
6100 S Blackstone Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Thursday, May 3rd, from 6PM - 8PM
Our 61st #PublicNewsroom is a special interactive workshop with Aymar Jean Christian, Assistant Professor at Northwestern University, Founder and Head of Development for OTV | Open Television, and author of the recent book, Open TV: Innovation Beyond Hollywood and the Rise of Web Television. Pulling from his experience, Aymar will discuss the value of developing stories outside of Hollywood, the power of diversity, and how tech and streaming companies compare in their TV development to the traditional networks.
Join us on Thursday, May 3rd for a presentation on OTV, a quick how-to exercise on developing your own TV show, as well as a special preview screening of “Hair Story,” a series currently in development with a diverse writers room in Chicago.
