THAT’S A WRAP ON 2022 | JANUARY 2023

Another year, another update. 2022 was always fun and exciting. Some highlights from 2022: I kicked off the year by building a dive bar in the metaverse for MillerLite and the first-ever Super Bowl commercial to premiere exclusively in the metaverse (both completed in under 6 weeks). I also developed the Hulu Motel with Anomaly, an immersive theater experiential pop-up, in the real world. And I help Coca-Cola Creations launch the artist Marshmello’s flavor collaboration via a choose-your-own-adventure live stream in which people all around the world controlled Marshmello through a video game-inspired metaverse. And finally, 2022 was the year AI went mainstream. I experimented quite a but with it and I wrote an article that outlined my thoughts.

YEAR END ’21 | DECEMBER 2021

2021 has been a crazy fun year filled with way too many Zoom calls and my first international travel since Covid. Closed out last year with a Guiness World Record for the Twenty One Pilots NeverEnding Music Video. Some highlights of 2021 – Started off the year with the car launch for Mitsubishi that was live from a driveway. Then after 8 months of work, unveileved Post Malone x Pokemon concert in March – all while planning the Twenty One Pilots Livestream Experience that premiered in May. Worked with Pink Sweat$ and LG on some insanely infectious spots for OLED an scared people in London for Call of Duty. Neck deep in development on a few massive projects. Partnered with my friends at M ss ng P eces. Finalizing several groundbreaking NFT projects. Wrote a few articles – ‘Why NFTs are the Future‘ and ‘The Past, Present and Future of the Metaverse(s).’ My writing partner, Nate Atkins and I finished our 5th and 6th script together – making it 3 feature films that are in various stages of casting or pre-production. 2022 has no signs of slowing down, so I am grateful and excited. Thanks for following along and have a fantastic holiday.

TWENTY ONE PILOTS LIVESTREAM EXPERIENCE | MAY 2021

For the past five months, I’ve been working on something really special with Twenty One Pilots – the Scaled and Icy Livestream Experience. Last Friday night, after weeks of rehearsals, we debuted the performance to the world. The show spanned almost the entire discography and included a narrative and deep dive into the existing Twenty One Pilots mythology. NME gave it 5 stars and the fans loved every second of the 60 minute performance..

END OF THE YEAR | DECEMBER 2020

Well, 2020 has been a year like nothing else. It completely transformed the way most of us work and how we interact with each other. This year allowed me to get back to a lot of the type of work that makes me happiest – innovative storytelling. So it was fitting that, 9 years later, we created a sequel to Take This Lollipop. Simply titled LOLLIPOP, the project has been seen by more than 100 million people across TikTok, YouTube, and takethislollipop.com. I am incredibly humbled and excited to start 2021 with some big news. Stay safe and wear a mask!

BIG CHANGES AHEAD | APRIL 2020

Incredibly big changes are happening. The world is in the midst of dealing with a global pandemic. Business has grinded to a halt. It’s certainly a time of uncertainty. Somehow, I am feeling more creatively alive than I ever have. I was inspired to write an article called, ‘The Age of Virtual Production‘. With physical production most likely halted to at least June or July, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get creative. Hope you are all well. Be safe. Stay indoors. ✌️
