Lance Weiler, story architect and culture hacker, is giving a talk at this year’s Open Video Conference about data-driven storytelling.

Lance is internationally recognized as a pioneer in indie film production and distribution. WIRED magazine named him one of twenty-five people helping re-invent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood.

In addition to his work as a writer and director, Lance is behind some downright amazing transmedia storytelling, incorporating augmented reality, social interaction, and gaming elements.

In 2006, Lance founded the WorkBook Project, an open creative network that connects filmmakers, musicians, game designers and software developers. Lance is definitely a resource, and we look forward to his talk at this year’s Open Video Conference.
