So we’re about 3/4ths of the way through day 2 of MIT5, and the combination of last week’s THESIS craziness, this weekend’s intense series of panels and discussions, and the looming defense next week means my head is well full-up. If one were to look closely into my eyes one would see two little fuel gauges with the needles buried on the Fs. After a while it all sort of fuses together into a sort of white noise drone, zzzzzzzzzzzz – media – zzzzzzzzzzzzz – Heroes – zzzzzzzzzzz – Lost – zzzzzzzzzz – transmedia – zzzzzzzzzz – theory – zzzzzzzzzz – games – zzzzzzzzzzz – JenkinsJenkinsJenkins – zzzzzzzzzzzz – Eco – zzzzzzzzzz – Brooker – zzzzzzzzzzz – Kinder – zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I’m lucky to be here, I’m happy to be here, but at this point there’s a part of me that just wants to go see the new Ninja Turtles movie.
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 »
