The first-of-its-kind iOS app Phrenic has launched version 2.0 with a new episode, short story, and now uses Theatrics to allow anyone to become part of the story by creating their own character and submitting a video that will show up in the app and online. The new design also makes it easier to jump between the mobile games, episodes, and stories that all take place in Phrenic’s world of insanity, cloning, and murder.

With Techfest NW fast approaching we wanted to highlight a few cool elements that have a nice digital storytelling theme. If you want the whole rundown of speakers and parties, be sure to go to the Techfest website here. The Willamette Week also has nice coverage (it’s their event after all) of the event and some speaker highlights.
Why is Oregon Film talking up Techfest? Because the event includes elements that will cover some of the great work happening in Oregon’s digital media/digital storytelling world as well as a few nationally known professionals in this emerging industry.
The 2013 TechFest NW will host the PanderBox Transmedia Lounge where the Pander Brothers will launch their new web channel, PanderBox.TV. The Portland based filmmaker and graphic novel team will present their array of web media story worlds in comics, music, digital video and give a sneak peek of what to expect on their new digital entertainment channel, PanderBox.TV.
PANDER BOX Transmedia Lounge – “Tasty Bullet Exposed!”
The PanderBox Transmedia lounge will feature the brothers’ conspiracy laden transmedia project, Tasty Bullet.
Polluted Pictures is now accepting online submissions for their most current project which is currently “Untitled.” We are shooting this project in accordance with the SAG SHORT FILM guidelines with deferred pay. This film is being produced as a “proof of concept” for a feature film shooting later this year. Our previous three feature films were financed through similar “proof of concept” pieces. None of the footage from this short will be used in the actual feature film that is produced subsequently.
As a result of the legislation passed this year, Oregon’s Department of Revenue will be conducting another tax credit auction for the Oregon Production Investment Fund. This time the total amount of tax credits to be auctioned will be $4,000,000. The process will be exactly like the successful auction conducted in July. It’s important to know that there is only time for one more OPIF auction this year so we will be working hard to make sure all $4,000,000 sells out in the designated time frame.
If you are someone who is passionate about the storytelling world that’s being created with the intersection of creativity and technology, then you’ll want to show up to Techfest NW this year. Oh yeah and there should be some great parties to attend as well! Included in the speaker list are Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici who will speak on her STEAM Education efforts, Producer Andy Merkin from Guillermo del Toro’s Mirada Studios, Kate Ertman from ADi, Mountain Machine Games founder Nick Lambert, and the team from Cascadia Games.
