02 Apr Indiewire | Interview with OpenDocLab Director Sarah Wolozin

Open Documentary Lab Director Sarah Wolozin was featured in Indiewire‘s Movie Lovers We Love column. In the interview, Wolozin talked about the MIT OpenDocLab and the interactive documentary field at large.

There are so many of these emerging technologies impacting how we experience stories — non-fiction stories in particular,” Wolozin told Indiewire. “We don’t sit back and watch them. We are using multiple screens; we are living in a participatory culture where people are making their own media. All of that impacts how we’re telling stories. When there were technologies like paint and photography, we used those for telling stories. Now there is code, big sets of data, mobile technology, ubiquitous computing and a lot of new storytelling platforms. If we want to understand our world, we need to be using the tools of the day to tell our stories.
