Tori Amos' Night of Hunters EPK →
Tori Amos is doing with her Night of Hunters album what we’re doing with the City of Refuge album - telling an original story through the songs, arcing it across the entire album, having vocalists reoccur as characters, but at the same time having the songs be able to stand on their own as solid tracks.

Last day with the STEM Academy kids. They finished breaking their stories and started adapting the stories into treatments that will be used to choose the winning story. The best concept/treatment will be put into our development queue and be pitched to Hollywood producers. The kids are stoked!

Captain America Loved Overseas →
Remember when I was up in arms about the studio wanting to remove “America” from the Captain America film title because they thought most of the world is anti-America? Well, ends up they were wrong.

Day 4 with the STEM Academy kids. Developed the second acts of their feature film concepts. It’s cool seeing them flourish creatively simply because of giving them a creative structure and formula to follow.
