Fade In: New Blog

1/14/2015

In the beginning there was nothing... and now here we are in the digital and mobile age. Over the last few years I have been reviewing platforms to see what will stand the test of time and what will stand out against time itself. Google recently offered a Google domain beta program. After careful review, the offer was just too good to refuse.

So here we go.... and then there was light... and eventually someone figured out how to put that light into a projector to tell stories and now we are here to talk about them. My passion is making connections between traditional broadcast and exciting new opportunities in digital platforms.

To a new year and new ramblings!

Captain America Premiere

3/14/2014

I attended the Disney/Marvel Captain America premiere at the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood last night. I had a blast and the movie was fantastic. This film had a deeper theme than the first one and of course the action was spectacular. Looking forward what other surprises Marvel has up it's sleeve.
