Silicon Valley Innovation Festival — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 08:29:33 +0000

Yet another innovation from Silicon Valley for Hollywood?!
What internet has done to the world, what Social networking has done to the world. Now what Intel and Toshiba just showed us is a new Cinema experience, new genre of Cinema , but wait, this time you are not just watching the movie. You are part of the movie. Like some kind of reality show. Guess there is a movie starring Brad Pitt and sweet Angie ,but you have the full control on their acting and the story! Its almost like multiplayer social games, only difference is the people will be acting in the movie with a great story in which you and real people will be a part of it.

Presented by Intel + Toshiba, the “Inside” social film project was the first Hollywood film of its kind starring Emmy Rossum (“Shameless,” “Phantom of the Opera,”) and directed by by D.J Caruso (“Disturbia,” “I Am Number Four,” “Eagle Eye”) with Oscar-winning cinematographer Mauro Fiore (“Avatar,” “Training Day”).
