TRANSMISSION #12 //THE START OF SOMETHING NEW
TRANSMISSION #12 //THE START OF SOMETHING NEW
There is always one aspect of writing that I consistently find myself enjoying and looking forward to.
The start of something NEW.
I spent the last year doing double duty working with the ARC’TERYX EQUIPMENT creative team and creating courses for the new University of British Columbia’s VIDEO GAME WRITING ACADEMY.
Both gigs were lengthy and challenging but introduced me to new ways of thinking and working, of collaborations with diverse and unique creatives and stepping (leaping actually) out of my comfort zone. Amazing experiences that I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of.
I will be teaching all of the six courses I created for UBC. My students are from all over the world and do the courses online, which means I can teach from anywhere…
Which means I’m outta here.
After almost 14 years of living and working (mainly working) in the city I’ve made the decision to head back to one of the most inspiring places I know.
My home town of Rossland, BC.
This is the place where I learned to daydream, read my first comic, built architecturally unsound tree-houses and spent endless hours discussing if stormtroopers were robots or humans while leaning on the handlebars of my BMX, losing track of time as another perfect summer day transitioned into another perfect summer night. This is a place that is not only in the mountains – it is the mountains.
Adventure. Exploration. Discovery.
I have a few new projects starting.
THE DRIFT: A novel about a guy who walks away from everything in his life and immerses himself in the sub-culture of those who follow the ski bum’s code of SNOW FIRST.
THE LEGEND OF TY: An epic tale of sword, sorcery and sarcasm that is at times familiar and yet oddly new. I’ve always wanted to dive into the world of high adventure and pulp sensibilities – this is it.
I’ll also be collaborating with the fine dudes over at JUICY STUDIOS 
(www.juicystudios.com) , tackling some upcoming creative gigs with a few game studios and taking on some new marketing contracts.
Reach me at:
T: 250-231-3744
PLANET FICTION STUDIOS is about to be powered by mountains that break the sky, clouds that transform into something epic and endless forests that pull you in and set you free.
Hope you stay tuned for the start of something new, check in soon for more READ WATCH PLAY.
