  2. Description
  3. Speakers

An introduction to the Hour Blue StoryWorld: a multi-platform, persistent animated universe anchored by writers, artists and artisans, advanced technologies and a multi-spectrum relationship between the audience, creator, characters and the mythopoeia of the world.

With plans for feature films, books, music, art, social, and a persistent immersive StoryWorld rooted in myth, Hour Blue holds the promise of a new way for audiences to experience stories. Rony Abovitz, Sir Richard Taylor and Chris DeFaria bring their mix of technology, innovation, filmmaking, artistry and invention to the Annecy stage to unveil the first glimpses of Hour Blue through original artwork, production plans, partnership, and a new animated short film, Yellow Dove Aftermath.
