Today’s creators aren’t choosing between “the big screen” and “the second screen” - they’re working across both. This panel explores how visual storytelling shifts across platforms and formats, and how three very different filmmakers pursue the same goal: crafting compelling images for a media landscape that’s rapidly reshaping traditional production, distribution, and viewing habits. From a 30-second vertical reel to a full cinematic sequence, we’ll examine what changes, what stays the same, what creators can borrow from each space, and what it all signals about the future of filmmaking.
