I spent the weekend redesigning the Small Media Extra Large website, and I’m quite pleased with the result. SMXL is a hybrid agency I co-founded that has interactive, social marketing, and video production capabilities. SMXL leverages the power of storytelling to create captivating websites, mobile apps, interactive TV, games, web & TV series, movies, and advertising.

Two of the first plays I ever wrote, Bachelorette Party (my very first), and Freak Show, have been restaged, and are being performed at a theater near you… assuming you’re in New York City.
It’s a quick, fun night of absurdity, with some darkness tossed in for good measure. Great performances by an ensemble of young up-and-coming actors. Fabulous direction by Li Murillo. All produced for Double Down Theater Co, by Tony White.

Check it out, I’m a co-author of The Ghost Club Storyscape: Designing for transmedia storytelling, a paper by Hank Blumenthal, the producer director of The Ghost Club.
Here’s the abstract:
One of the key questions about transmedia storytelling is how to design a participant’s experience across different media so that it is connected and perceived as a whole. We extract four components for building such connections from current work in media studies and production literature and practice. These proposed design components are mythology, canon, character and genre. To test this approach we have designed and developed a group of connected digital media expressions, The Ghost Club Storyscape, to experiment with these four ingredients on multiple media.
