I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a position where I get called in every now and then to help different productions, creators, companies, producers and other stakeholders in their development work.

One Year in Now Media – 2015
So, we're now writing (or trying to remember to write) 2016. As I've done for the past few years, I've compiled a publication consisting of a curation of my blog posts from the past year.

Transmedia in 2015
I’ve been eagerly studying, creating, curating and producing in the transmedia vein for the past few years, ever since the cross-media me saw the light of transmedia storytelling in a conference room in Cardiff in the summer of 2010.

A little less than a week ago I published the annual-wrap-up and looking-ahead-to-next-year publication "One Year In Now Media Vol IV". From the start, four years ago, a central part of the publication has been the interviews with creative and intelligent people from different parts of the media field.
