Future Makers Week – TMU X UHN

Update Oct 10: Here's the event recording! My Shadowpox talk starts at the 10:25 mark, followed by Dave Evans speaking about The Vale: Shadow of the Crown (no shortage of shadows here!), then we both sit down with host Victoria Evans for a panel discussion and Q&A from 43:30. 

(Love that YouTube's flagged the video with a Health Canada COVID-19 vaccine link: "When you search or watch videos related to topics prone to misinformation, such as the moon landing, you may see an information panel...." Fact-checkers are go!)

I'm excited to be speaking about Shadowpox this Thursday, October 10th, on a panel titled "Fusing Gameplay & Healthcare," led byUHN's KITE Creates as part of their mission to "build bridges between innovators in healthcare and creative industries." 


Victoria Evans will be hosting, and David Evans will be presenting on The Vale: Shadow of the Crown, an audio-only video game that won a Canadian Screen Award for Best Video Game Narrative.

The event is presented by Future Makers, "an ever-evolving initiative dedicated to fostering curiosity, dialogue, experimentation, and innovation at the intersection of creativity and technology." Co-created and led by The Creative School at TMU and the City of Toronto's Creative Technology office, Future Makers "empowers the creative community through education, collaboration, mentorship, and thought-provoking conversations to shape the future of the entertainment industry."
