Attorney Kyle Kertz presents an update on startups, COVID-19, and the law. Because we’re currently in the most fluid legal environment in US history, startups and small businesses will need to adjust their business from a legal standpoint to fit ongoing changes in the law related to the government’s response to COVID-19.

“Hard Reset” by Deepak Chetty

The dawn of artificially intelligent androids is upon us, and one man must choose between synthetic freedom and the future of humankind.

Hard Reset recently won the Advanced Imaging Society Lumiere Award for Best 3D Live Action Short Film of the year. Other honorees included Star Wars The Force Awakens, The Martian, and Pixar’s Inside Out.

Hard Reset is the first 3D stereoscopic graduate thesis film created in partnership with UT3D, the country’s first stereoscopic certificate production program at a public university.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
Hard Reset was my thesis film at the University of Texas at Austin’s MFA film program. It is a love letter to my favorite genre across all media, science-fiction. The film was shot natively in stereoscopic 3D with the support of UT3D and It was filmed mostly in studio at UT with some additional location photography around town. The piece is actually a pilot for a much larger project I would like to develop (with or without 3D) using the world we have created. I directed, co-wrote and did all of the visual effects on the film. I am proud of the film as in the past most of my work has solely focused on visuals and lacked clear narrative, and I feel that this is a development and step into the way I would want my future projects to progress. From start to finish it was a passion project that took almost 2 years. It owes everything to the films that inspired me to become a filmmaker and the genre that defines all the stories I want to tell.

“The Woo” by David Howe

Following a breakup, a introverted pot dealer becomes addicted to a virtual reality avatar of his ex-girlfriend while the building he lives in mysteriously refuses to let him leave.

THE WOO is a story about isolation, dependence, and obsession that blurs the line between virtual and reality. Felix is an introverted pot dealer living alone in The Goodall Wooten; a decaying, claustrophobic high-rise. Following a breakup, Felix becomes addicted to a virtual reality avatar of his ex-girlfriend Dani, who has moved just down the hall. While the world carries on around him, Felix feels trapped in his own mind, all while the building mysteriously refuses to let him leave.

Texas’s thriving capital is world‐renowned for its bustling music scene, burgeoning tech industry and tasty food. But those are merely byproducts of a city that not only prizes innovation and openness but also free-spirited out-of-the-box thinking. Those factors, which make the city a desirable place to work and live, also helped Austin rank fifth in the Dell Future Ready Economies Model.

T Brand Studio created a destination site, graphics and articles on Dell-sponsored research and rankings of future-ready cities. The studio also produced a six-minute video featuring Austin, one of the ranked cities. The site will be updated with additional videos, an interactive data visualization and an article on cities outside the U.S. To see the full paid post, visit: http://nyti.ms/1UYfh1h
