What happens when the people who build Hollywood worlds decide to tell their own stories—without permission? This panel focuses on creative independence and why these authors chose self-publishing. Visual effects experts Scott Kilburn (Life of Pi; author of Summoning a Lost Fey), Jim Hillin (Beauty and the Beast; author of Somnicreolist), and Eric Wilson (The Matrix; author of The Murder Algorithm) discuss shifting from working on major movies, TV, and games to writing science fiction and fantasy. Moderated by Theresa Halvorsen (No Bad Books Press).
