Description
There’s nothing quite like NOT becoming a doctor, lawyer, or accountant and dishonoring your entire family. But now you’re interested in…. GAMES? IN A VOLATILE INDUSTRY? Living in a Western culture with non-Western parents has its own set of difficulties, especially when you’ve suddenly decided on a career that confuses them. Our panel of game developers are here to help. We’ll be talking about the challenges of growing up in an ethnic household and choosing a career in games, but also the ways it makes us different and stronger. But most of all, how we navigate and justify the work to our endless aunties and uncles.Featuring - Victoria Tran [Communications Director, Kitfox Games], Chandana Ekanayake [Creative Director, Outerloop Games], Joe Tirado [Communications & Marketing, System Era Softworks], Chris Compendio [PR Coordinator, Uppercut]
