Octocon Presents: Unreliable Narrators and Other Tricks
Saturday 19 April 2025 @ 15:30
Panellists: Michael Carroll, Gareth Hanrahan, Peadar Ó Guilín, Sarah Rees Brennan, Catherine Sharp (moderator)
Panel Description: Do your characters constantly contradict themselves, exaggerate situations, or conceal important details? If so, you may have one or more unreliable narrators! Our panel looks at how multiple viewpoints, restricted perspectives and outright lies can be used to play with the audience’s perceptions of what’s really going on in a story whether on the page or the screen.
