I realize that sometimes people wonder why I’m talking to them about the Mixed Remixed Festival. What does it have to do with them if they’re not mixed? Well, this video explains how I learned the importance of talking about the Mixed experience in a “non-mixed” crowd. I hope you’ll check it out.

“As the Mixed Experience becomes more inclusive and more accessible along multiple fronts — age, geography, media, technology etc. — it’s only natural for us to expect increasingly higher standards of creativity and engagement from its storytellers. However, with so much diversity of content and outreach, learning how stories should be evolving and how to make narratives work is a complicated matter. This panel offers some perspectives on what audiences interested in the future of the Mixed Experience — what we’re calling “Mixed Race 3.0″ — may be looking for in their stories, which can be summed up as immersion, interactivity, integration and impact.”
