It was a fun experience and I enjoyed seeing my Late Fragment friends again that I had met at VIDFEST when I saw Late Fragment for the first time. Thanks to Ana Serrano for blogging about my photos that night.

Thanks to Jacqueline Nuwame (we chilled at nextMEDIA), I was able to video interview Jeff Parazzo who plays the character of Théo and Mateo Guez who was the writer/director for that storyline.

From the Press Release:

On July 8th, the distributor, Mongrel Media released the Launch Party DVD across Canada as North America’s first interactive dramatic feature film.

Co-produced by the Canadian Film Centre’s (CFC) Media Lab and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), Late Fragment is a critically-acclaimed work that boldly pushes storytelling into the realm of digital interactivity. Based on an interface model developed by acclaimed director Lars von Trier, this unique film allows the viewer to control the flow of the story with the click of a button.

Now audiences at home can discover Late Fragment’s multi-plot, non-linear and interactive narrative stories of three strangers. A young mother grappling with loss, a man reconnecting with his troubled son, and a male stripper facing his past — Faye (Krista Bridges), Kevin (Michael Healy) and Theo (Jeff Parazzo) are drawn together as participants in a restorative justice process, where victims and offenders share their stories. Written and directed by three directors (Anita Doron, Daryl Cloran, and Mateo Guez), the stories intertwine according to the viewer’s guidance, on a path to redemption, reconciliation, or revenge.


Relevance: A great opportunity to meet and interact with people interested in film and digital media
