When should I start planning?
What are the implications for my production?
Who should I work with?
How will this help my bottom line?
Where can I find out more?
To answer these and many other questions, the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, the CMPA and Zeros 2 Heroes Media are continuing the seminar series that has been held in cities across the country. Speakers in Toronto will include:
Andra Scheffer, Executive Director, Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund
Shawn Bailey, Director, Chocolate Liberation Front
Jessica Clark-Bojin, Head of Entertainment Business, VFS
Johnny Kalangis, Creative Director, Marble Media, and CFC Media Lab Alumnus

Technology is capable of taking a local social innovation to scale, across the country or worldwide. Through training, workshops, labs and public discussions, Net Change Week will provide participants with knowledge they need today, and then broaden the conversation to what we can expect in the future.
Now, I know you’re saying to yourself, “Sounds exciting, but how is the CFC Media Lab involved?”
Current CFC Media Lab Telus Interactive Art & Entertainment Program Residents will participate in The Future Lab. WHEN: Projects will be pre-selected on Thursday, June 10. Teams will have less than 48hrs to formulate the game plan for realizing the idea out in the world. In front of a live audience, the lab solutions will be presented and a winner chosen by a panel of judges on Friday, June 11 from 2:30p – 5p.
ABOUT THE FUTURE LAB: This lab provides a unique opportunity to workshop solutions to systemic social or environmental problems. Passionate about making change but unsure where to start? Here’s your chance to suggest an idea – or a “wicked problem,” and collaborate with a room of experts to create solutions. As team leader, you must demonstrate the capacity (either as organizational or company support, or individual commitment as an entrepreneur) to realize the solution after The Future Lab.
Seed (visit: seedcollective.org) Prototype* from the Telus Interactive Art & Entertainment Program will be on display for everyone to play with. WHEN: Wednesday, June 9, 2010 from 9a – 5p.
ABOUT: Through the use of sound and imagery, users create and populate a forest together, by dialing a particular number on the screen, each participant receives a “seed” on the public screen.
Seed explores the convergence of rich media and wireless technology in the creation of a collaborative and evolving work of art. Through sound and imagery, users create and populate a forest together. By dialing a particular number on the screen, each participant receives a “seed” on the public screen. By using the keypad on the cell phone audiences have the ability to grow their seeds, choose the type of trees they want to plant, and change their texture and color.
