#PASSION TELLING BIG STORIES IN TWITTER AND BEYOND

I like ideas that join up. The best toys I had when I was a kid were the ones that you could get books, TV shows, board games (yeah, yeah there were no computers) and it all made sense.

When I got a Spectrum, I played the Hobbit on it endlessly, and then read the book, then another then another.

Stories engage us in so many ways, through plays, telly, film, jokes in the pub or the playground, gameshows and dramas alike.

"We've collaborated in the past on several innovative content projects. Lots of people talk about cross platform media - far fewer actually focus on trying to make it work. Mike always does - and always with a
sense of humour!

MARK ROWLAND CEO INDIETV

Mike has been at the forefront of creative online and TV ideas for years. He always delivers great ideas that are unexpected, interesting and compelling. The events he has organised and the talks he give are always
worth turning up for. Top guy.

MARTIN TRICKEY BBC

There are few people who I've met who seem capable of being able to communicate between computer geeks and those of the artistic temperament. Mike is one of them and he is able to make complicated things seem very simple

I see multi-platform content like that, joined up, it's about thinking about the viewer/user/player and wondering how much cool stuff you can give them to do around your stories.

The stories I'm playing with at the moment are:-

#PASSION : Telling the Easter story from the point of view of the witnesses to it, in a new way on Twitter

BB MAG : A collaborative magazine for Facebook, created by celebs and fans

COOKING IN HIGH HEELS : A new tool using video and planning and shopping to make life a better place to wear shoes in

TXT : A boy who can 'see' all the data around us - and it sees him
(INTERACTIVE MOVIE)

GAJT: A community of Q's building gizmos to defend the world
(TOOLS, GAMES, TV, COMMUNITY)

BALLS : An Englishboy in New York, joins a girls soccer team to make friends

Queen Arthur: When England needs King Arthur he returns, as a 16 year old girl
(DRAMA, MOBILE)

Tempting Fates: The gods haven't deserted us, they are busy watching telly.
(ONLINE DRAMA)

Chanjlings: We make Elecktrickery from Majic - and the Chanjlings are angry about that.
