Sorry I’ve been so cranky on this blog lately. Life is still (for the most part) excellent I’m teaching a class on Gaiman tomorrow, how bad can life be? it’s just that I’ve been dealing with a lot of crap lately that makes me feel like I’m spinning my wheels instead of getting any traction. I want to be learning ways to tell stories, and I want to be actually making more entertainment projects, but instead I’m doing websites and white paper designs and whatnot because they’re what I can do but they’re eating up all my damn time. It just has me nervous and anxious and frustrated, that’s all. Add onto that the near-total obliviousness of the people asking me to do these projects to their impact on my actual schoolwork and it boggles the mind. This weekend I’m going to pull up a little bit and rework some plans, I think…
After researching transmedia storyworlds at MIT, guiding Microsoft in its CTO/CXO's think tank, co-founding Microsoft Studios' Narrative Design team, and exploring the future of entertainment and media as the Creative Director and a Research Fellow for USC's Annenberg Innovation Lab, I'm now the Creative Director for USC's World Building Media Lab, a storyteller, a designer, a consultant, and a doctoral student in Media Arts and Practice at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. more »
