THE WRITER'S JOURNEY

PREVIEW

Having begun my journey as a writer in 2006, I traveled from Naples, FL, where I learned small business management 
with my family, and witnessed the first impacts of extreme weather; to Augusta, GA, where I wrote my first programming

block (originally eight youth culture shows, now hosted at MTVSuperBlock.com); to Kansas City, MO, where I wrote Celebrity

Stomach as a counterpart to Newman's Own (now part of the StomachMovie.com tadpole franchise); to Los Angeles in 2009,

where I have worked in theatrical marketing for Deluxe Media Management, across both major and minor studio slates.

At Art Center (2012-2017), I studied writing and directing, and focused on developing new digital cinema technologies.

There is still a lot we can do with digital cinema (beyond DCI and ACES) that will improve the movie going experience,

the quality of the content, and install new business models that support social value (my proposed SCI, social cinema initiatives,

and COD, "cinema over digital" models). To prototype this I developed "Rated-S," and focused on the DC character Superman,

as Zac Snyder's Man of Steel was getting criticized for its gratuitous violence. For my thesis, I turned the controversial social

media reaction about "Black Zero" into a marketing campaign called ConversationWithSuperman.com.

Recently, because of #MeToo, I worked on a channel design for women, which expands on the reactive #TimesUp moment,

using a proactive #EatMyCake philosophy. The Kaleidoscope TV project is currently hosted at PopDrag.com, which collectively

represents the solution for American Icon Season One. (#EatMyCake being a campaign moniker for improving women's culture, 

using a conceived cross media platform, focused on "inclusion rider" female talent and stories.)
 

But my origin really begins with cartoons. There is something about color, shape and motion in the classic cartoons

that has always intoxicated my perception. Far more visceral than "talkie" cartoons, the characters I witnessed in

my imagination as a child always existed before I had verbal language. Role models, motion design, social action,

next-gen reality TV, original cartoons, each have shaped my storyworlds. I'm a "method writer" who has lived

inside stories that have both shaped me, and made me believe that creativity can be a force for good.
