A promotional still from the amazing ‘Waking La Llorona,’ recently added to the Without Walls Festival lineup.

It’s the last gasp of summer, before Spooky Season takes over the listings across the continent and everything is pumpkin flavored. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. #PSLyfe.

It’s a list light on stories to read and HEAVY on shows. Let’s get to it!

THIS WEEK ON THE PODCAST

Episode 114- Gil Baron of Mindshow | Noah Nelson on PatreonOfficial Post from Noah Nelson: MINDSHOW!There is pretty much NOTHING that gets me more excited about virtual reality…www.patreon.com

The CEO of Mindshow, the first killer app for VR in our humble opinion, sits down with us to talk about the philosophy of this fantastic digital puppeting tool that turns an HTC Vive into a motion capture studio. This is a tool that every immersive creator should get their hands on.

Plus Ricky Brigante of Inside the Magic stops by to talk about what he’s been up to this summer. Tl;Dr: a lot.
