The Opportunity
We stand on the threshold of a tremendous opportunity...
We are at the very beginning of a profound sociological
change in the way people perceive, create, process, and present information. And, for the most part, no one even
has a glimmer of how it's all going to turn out.
The old publishing paradigm is maxed out and is
not a viable option for presenting the kind of spiritually nourishing entertainment for which emotionally and spiritually
mature audiences are craving.
The "system" cannot handle the sheer
numbers of creative artists who have something of value to say but no vehicle for the expression of their art.
Rising up to replace the "old," Interactive Storytelling
presents itself as part of the solution...
- A solution that may lie in the new multimedia, internet, and artificial technologies,
properly blended with the arts of storytelling, animation, filmmaking, and the like.
- A solution that may lie in adopting a new business model based on principles of serious
creativity, surpetition, and value monopolies.
- And a solution that may lie in creating serious, mature works which audiences of all
ages and cultures will naturally gravitate to for their newness, freshness, uniqueness, and universal appeal...
- Works with lifelike characters experiencing real adventures that audiences of all
ages will find meaningful.
- Works that inspire not fear, but hope.
- Works that promote a strong ecological message and are, therefore, by their very nature,
compatible with Milennium themes and values--respect for the Earth and all of its living creatures and natural
resources, while living in cooperation and harmony with Nature--and with the goals and values of most people today.
