| The European Union bristles with initiatives to fund new broadband work. John Wyver explains. | | Date Created: 23 Aug, 2005, 01:08 PM |
 How do you creative an entirely new interactive video paradigm - AND get the work funded? John Wyver explains the function of the European Union's NM2 New Media Initiative, which has done just this sort of thing.
Wyver is himself a writer and producer (in his capacity as Chairman of The Illuminations Group, a close association of three independent production companies creating innovative and distinctive television, films, multimedia and convergent media). But he is also a Board Member of the EU NM2 New Media Initiative which should excite any creative person as a possible source of support.
Wyver specialises in programmes about the arts and digital media. He was Series Editor of the BBC2 magazine The Net (1994-8), and Series Editor of the contemporary cultural work "Tx" (BBC2, 1995-9). He is the author of The Moving Image: An International History of Film, Television and Video. He won a 1995 BAFTA for Best Arts Programme and was nominated for the 1996 International Emmy for Best Arts Documentary. He produced Heaven and Hell (1997), the first live television broadcast from inside a shared 3D virtual world.
