Episode 84 - Technology in entertainment with Dani Bellar Pilukas

In this episode we are joined by Dani Bellar Pilukas talking all things technology across the entertainment industry. Dani has always been a leader and innovator in the industry - she was Cirque du Soleil's first female head of automation and helped build and design some of the most complex kinetic production experiences the world has ever seen. Following numerous prestigious roles, Dani landed her dream job at Walt Disney Imagineering, where she won several awards for creating ride experiences that include 'Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance', and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' in Shanghai. Dani Bellar Pilukas has since progressed to working in virtual production, and is now a Director of Physical Production, leading a team of producers in the field. She talks to us all about her fascinating career and experiences.  We want to hear from YOU and provide a forum where you can put in requests for future episodes.
