Panel: The Future of Storytelling

Watch an expert panel of top animation industry directors, including Joaquim Dos Santos, director, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” from Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures; Sam Fell, director, “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget” from Aardman Animations and Netflix; Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, directors, “Nimona,” from Netflix; and Peter Ramsey, Oscar-winning director of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” from Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures, as they discuss how their films, along with recent hit animated features like “The Bad Guys,” Puss n Boots: The Last Wish,” and “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” have ushered in a new era in visual storytelling, where highly stylized animation filled with graphic design elements, hybrid styles, 2D elements and anime-inspired action has audiences expecting much more than the same old 3DCG, and how studios, streamers, producers and creators are adapting to and planning ahead to meet the needs of audiences across a rapidly changing digital entertainment landscape.
