Some futurists claim that no one will be reading in 50 years. Some say America is a Republic of Movies and that Americans now tell their stories in movies rather than in books. One of Hawaii’s filmmakers shared her ideas on this topic in this recorded podcast from the Hawaii Library Association’s annual conference on November 10, 2006. She addressed how reading and books help her make films, and also shared her thoughts on the extent to which she envisions a future without reading, where all information is passed in fluid, moving media. Edgy Lee is an articulate and passionate Hawaiian filmmaker, and her presentation serves as an inspiration to digital storytellers everywhere.
