Our panels will tackle the representation of hacker culture, tools, and techniques in film. We aim to lower the bar to embracing authenticity on screen by exploring ways various techniques can be effectively, affordably, and consistently applied on set. Then, we'll have a frank discussion about the ethical implications of that level of accuracy. These conversations will offer both a foothold for industry professionals digging into this for the first time, and new techniques and inspiration for those who are already familiar. Portrayals of hacker culture have often fallen into the trap of dull stereotype. Our panelists will discuss the characters and cultural backdrop of some famous hacker films and offer their perspectives on what it takes to get from the real world to the screen with fully realized, complex characters.
