Through her work as an interactive story creator, a digital strategist, a game designer, and writer and producer, Julina is utilizing new technology and platforms to transform how content is created and consumed. Her keynote presentation will provide SMPTE 2018 attendees with a rich and rare perspective on how leading-edge creatives are working with next-gen technologies to redefine the very nature of media and entertainment.
Tatlock is CEO of 30 Ninjas, an award-winning immersive-entertainment company she founded along with director Doug Liman (Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow, and American Made, among others). 30 Ninjas creates original narratives and experiences in new technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality (VR, AR, MR) and location-based entertainment for clients including Warner Bros., USA Network, Universal Cable Productions, and Harper Collins.
Tatlock also is the executive producer and director of Episodes three and four of the six-part VR miniseries Invisible, with production partners Cond Nast Entertainment, Jaunt VR, and Samsung.
