With hit video game franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty raking in billions of dollars, the stakes are high for those coming up with the story lines.
At the Big Screen Symposium in Tamaki Makarau this weekend, a panel of writers will compare and contrast working in ideas for games, film and television.
Panellist Henry Feltham from Dunedin, is narrative designer for games, he was the lead writer on the 2021 multiplayer survival game 'Icarus' and is the Studio Director for a company called 'Deep Field Games.'
He's also a screen writer for film - he co-wrote The Town that come out in 2020.
He talks to Jesse about the gaming industry in New Zealand and why these symposiums are so important.
