HOW DOES THE PIXEL LAB WORK?
The Pixel Lab is a project-driven, residential week-long workshop taking place from 4 – 10 July 2010. Teaching will be led by international cross-media pioneers and will be a mixture of group work, one-to-one meetings, plenary sessions and case studies. Non-producer participants will be assigned to a project which they will work on, together with the producer, over the course of the week.

Producer participants will additionally benefit from distance learning between July and October, when they will develop plans for audience engagement & interactivity, distribution & marketing and finance/packaging specific to their projects. Producers will then attend Power to the Pixel’s Cross-Media Forum between 12 – 14 October 2010, held in association with the London Film Festival, where they will present their cross-media projects to potential international business and finance partners.
