Channel: Team Happily
Date: 2021-09-01

Jason Wishnow joins us to chat about his favorite TED Talk and how to produce better online learning content.

Jason is a pioneer in storytelling on the web. He's most notoriously known for being the founding Director of Film and Video for TED, scaling an obscure series of videos about ideas to over 1000 web episodes that were shared over a billion times during his tenure.

Before joining TED, Jason created the pioneering film website ‘New Venue’ in the mid-’90s (an entire decade before YouTube). The site screened a web-ready short film each week, making it the first ongoing Internet film festival. In 2000, he organized ‘The Aggressively Boring Film Festival’, which was the first handheld or mobile film festival, whose name was inspired by the technical limitations of its time.

Also a film director, Jason has many award-winning short films and videos. He’s most recent is a controversial sci-fi film made in China, ‘The Sand Storm (沙尘暴)’ starring celebrated Chinese contemporary artist and activist, Ai Weiwei.
