You know that trope in movies where the heroes are in a jam and, self-reliant as they try to be, they just can't hero their way out of this one ... and then one of them says "... I know a guy"?
And maybe the guy he knows is, I dunno, a pilot or a mechanic or a polymath, or he's got the connects or the specific skills to get them out of this jam, or he's just an excellent spare pair of hands that the heroes could use because they're up to their necks in hero business?
I'm The Guy. Good to know you.
I love telling stories. From feature-length to five second promo, whether with copy, imagery, music, footage - I’m as intrigued by the tools and mechanics of storytelling as I am the infinite stories they can tell.
I live for the challenge of finding new methods to tell familiar stories - and for that matter, of using familiar methods to tell new stories.
So what’s your story? And how can I help you tell it?
