As I wrote in this blog last October, after the “E for all Expo,” the philosophy behind my company, Unconventional Media, is to deliver a fresh angle for new entertainment, incorporating movie storytelling into game play. This seems to be a growing, exciting trend in the business, although much of it remains tied to feature film releases like “Batman,” “Watchman,” “Harry Potter,” etc.. I do admit it was fun to stand next to the original Ghostbusters Ecto-1 vehicle, parked outside to promote the Ghostbuster Video game. I believe with the immersing technology of virtual game worlds, we can create storylines to form a new kind of entertainment. It’s like my fictional screenplay, “Press>Play” as reality. We enter the story, virtually.

It’s an incredible show. If you can’t make it to Los Angles, so much of Tucker’s art work is available to see on his website. And just like his art, there are many “Easter Eggs” to explore and lead you to his music, video and other art. It is a real interactive website. Also visit “All Hands on Board,” a social networking site of friends and fans of Tucker Stilley’s work. It is also another portal to his “Hole in Space” webcam. For me, he is a mentor to the real possibilities that can be achieved with new media, new technology and new ideas.

I’ve written before about how much I enjoy the video feeds from the yearly Technology, Entertainment & Design conference, a gathering of Today’s real thinkers. This year’s conference, which was just recently posted on their Website, once again was filled with incredible inventions and new thoughts on issues that affect our world today.

The PARAPLEX opened today, January 24, 2009 in New Orleans. Sadly, I was unable to attend the opening. Too much bills and paperwork to get through here in Los Angeles, but do plan to get down real soon. The high tech PARAPLEX includes paranormal art galleries, hands-on interactive psychic testing exhibits, [...]

The amazing musical artist, once again known as, Prince has recently been quoted as saying, “the Gatekeepers must change.” This was in reference to his frustration with the major labels and the creation of his own record label and his three upcoming, yes three, releases. The man is prolific. He’s got [...]

I was there to finalize my partnership with Dr. Larry Montz and Daena Smoller of the International Society for Paranormal Research (ISPR) and [...]
