Tupac, Elvis, and Benjamin Button Walk into a Bar…

#Digillusion

When a digital version of Tupac Shakur did a surprise performance at Coachella, people lost their minds…then rushed to tweet about it (of course). Digital Tupac wasn't so far removed from similar work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or TRON: Legacy, so why the collective gasp? Frank Leonard, founder and CEO of Black List, and Ed Ulbrich, CEO of Digital Domain, discuss the impact of digital characters on filmmaking, live performance, and intellectual property.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
