The Brig: Do Nerds Dream of Electric Sex? (w/ filmmaker Diana Porter)
Diana Porter is the talented actor, director and writer behind numerous short films including those in the Vitalus Universe!
This week, down in the digital darkness we call THE BRIG, we have a prolific Boston based writer, director and sometimes star of such critically acclaimed shorts as Looker, Cup of Tea and the three films in the ever expanding Vitalus Universe.
The films in this near future universe ("Subscribed", "The Rewind" and the upcoming "Proxy") warn of the potential dangers of emerging technologies that truly feel 100% POSSIBLE given our current real world trajectory. These are stories that raise uncomfortable moral quandaries while pointing out very believable ways that progress could go horribly horribly wrong.
On this episode, Diana shares a ton of stories from her career as an indie filmmaker, hellbent on making uncompromising art with a message.
