I’ve been mostly offline and fairly quiet over the past month or so, mostly as a result of a lot of traveling. Here’s what’s been keeping me busy… I joined fellow Transmedia L.A. member Kate McCallum on the “Reducing the Digital Friction with Transmedia” panel for the Digital Asset Management conference in late [...]
SXSW Panel: “The Rise of Co-created Storyworld Communities”
I was thrilled to be invited by Esther Lim to join her and J. Craig Williams at this year’s SXSW conference to discuss collaborative entertainment, multi-platform interactive engagement, and how to bridge creatives and audiences. We curated a lot of the content, including an audio slidecast and the twitter stream.

All three relate to audience contribution and participatory storytelling (not surprise to anyone who has read this blog!), but they approach the topics from different perspectives. Voting is now open and runs through September [...]
Transmedia and Me – One Year Later
A year ago, I stopped using the term transmedia in reference to my company and my company’s projects. I had just returned from SXSW in time to catch the first ‘Transmedia, Hollywood’ conference, and the cross-currents going on in the transmedia space forced me to re-evaluate my use of the term. The result was that [...]
