Creator Talks: Heide Solbrig

BCR invites you to the launch of the first in a series of Creator Talks on Sunday July 12, 2015 at 2:00 pm. First up is local writer, filmmaker, and media artist Heide Solbrig who will discuss her transmedia project The Dandelion King: an autobiographical story told through a graphic novel, six short films, an interactive app, archival footage, and a playable game. The talk will take place at the new Boston Comics Workspace, located at 561 Windsor Street, Studio 306, in Somerville, Mass.

Solbrig, also known as WhateverFloatsYourBoat Productions, will describe how she developed the ambitious scope of her project, with its innovative interactive and multimedia elements. She will explain her storytelling process as well as the recent publication of the first installment of her graphic novel. This is an excellent educational opportunity for any comics and multimedia enthusiast, both novices and experts alike. BCR intends to host more events such as this in the future to bring community members together to explore creative techniques and style.
