Lance Weiler is a critically acclaimed award-winning writer / director, recognized as a pioneer because of the way he makes and distributes his work – Wired magazine named him “One of twenty-five people helping to re-invent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood”. He has successfully self-distributed his films The Last Broadcast and Head Trauma to over 20 countries whilst grossing over $ 5 million in the process. Always interested in experimenting with new ways to tell stories and reach audiences, Lance developed a cinema ARG (alternate reality game) around Head Trauma. Over 2.5 million people experienced the game across theatres, mobile drive-ins, mobile phones and online.
He is the Founder of the WorkBook Project, an open creative network that has grown to become a thriving international community of filmmakers, musicians, game designers and software developers. He is also a Founder of the roving conference series DIY DAYS, and a Co-Founder of From Here to Awesome and WBP Labs series RADAR.
