Hey all:
Waaay back at Barcamp LA-4 in 2007, I nervously released my first venture into the murky form of what has come to be called "Transmedia Storytelling." I didn't know if anybody would like it, or even get what I was trying to do. To my delight, the reception was fantastic and gave me the encouragement to keep going and to keep experimenting. Over the next several Barcamps, I would bring my latest project and test out my ideas on the community.
Barcamp is where I learned how to go pro.
Which is why I'd like to share with you all the launch of my company's new Transmedia Storytelling platform -- called RIDES -- and our first RIDES series, "Dirty Work."
Here's the official synopsis:
Dirty Work is a dark comedy that follows the gruesome misadventures of a Los Angeles based crime-scene clean-up crew. Each episode finds our team wading through the muck of a new assignment, a new location, and new set of toxic predicaments. Calling themselves "bioremediation engineers" is a just a fancy way of saying they scrape up brains for a living. But the carnage they're mopping up is nothing compared to the wreckage of their personal lives.
Starring Mary-Lynn Rajskub (24), Hank Harris (Pumpkin) and Jamie Clayton (Hung).
When you get a moment, I'd love it if you'd take a look. And if you like it, please spread the word.
And thank you.
Because without Barcamp, I wouldn't have been able to get here.
