Engle has worked on a number of 3D releases, including Open Season, Monster House and Polar Express.
The 3D presentations will also include “A Multidimensional Conversation About 3D,” with experts discussing the creation and distribution of 3D content and addressing questions about the emerging 3D marketplace. The sessions will be followed by 3D screenings. Panelists will include Joshua Greer, president and co-founder of RealD, Steve Schklair, founder and CEO of 3ality Digital, Buzz Hayes, senior producer, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and Aaron Parry, president and founder of Main Street Pictures.
