Our guest this week is Diana Williams, who, after 30 years in the entertainment media industry working on premier content like the Star Wars Marvel Cinematic universes, has founded a new company, Kinetic Energy Entertainment, focused on partnering with creatives to build new intellectual property (IP) for today's rapidly changing media landscape. Starting with a clear and holistic definition of IP as being a story world with multiple points of entry for an audience, Diana sees this as a way to honor rich content by developing the ABC's – Audience, Business, Creative – in tandem with specific media formats, thus building authentic engagement with the audience from the start, rather than marketing to them after a product is developed. We look at how entertainment revenue models have changed with streaming, and how business is struggling to change to fit that reality. Talking through one of her current projects, a PC game called Political Arena developed with pundit Eliot Nelson, we get a closer look at some of the strategies that guide this venture, and also the changing role of entertainment as a source of education. Without having the primary goal to educate, entertainment increasingly, if unwittingly, fills that gap, but does that make it a responsibility? While audience demand may still be dragging the legacy entertainment industry kicking and screaming toward changes in representation, that is the tide, and Diana is betting that building entertainment around audience truth is the way to develop solid and loyal fan relationships that will in turn feed into better content.A full transcript of this episode will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Diana's company, Kinetic Energy EntertainmentMore about the Peabody Interactive BoardAnd the inaugural Winners for Digital and Interactive Storytelling, which were announced on 3/24/2022Some of the press coverage of Political Arena game:Washington PostNPRWashingtonianMarketWatchMicThe Times UKCheddarSteam page, including the "attack ad" trailer for the gamePolitical Arena creator and HuffPost columnist Eliot Nelson (book, The Beltway Bible)Science and Entertainment ExchangeControversy over whether to recast T'Challa (Black Panther) in the MCUFor more on games-based learning, see:Kurt SquireJames Paul GeeZoe CorwinKatie Salen TakinbasFor more about building out story worlds, check out our previous episodes with Nonny de La Peña, Alex McDowell, and Ann Pendleton-JulianWe've also done several episodes about Transmedia StorytellingFor more on games-based learning, listen to our episode with Kurt Squire and Katie Salen Tekinbas.… and for more discussion of Fast & Furious fandom, check out our previous episode with Sue Ding!Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

This episode will feature Tad Leckman, the Director of Learning and Development at Activision Blizzard. Tad has a background in entertainment and education, spending the past twenty years focused on the learning and development of artists, designers, writers, and engineers. He had built a successful career as a digital artist and supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic, worked on critically acclaimed series like Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video games, and taught full-time at the University of California Santa Cruz. In this episode, Tad and our hosts delve into the deep end of CGI and special effects, with Tad applying his unique experiences to growing technologies in AR and the Metaverse. The conversation also focuses on the development of storytelling in immersive technologies, with particular attention given to the ways in which techniques honed in traditional media like movies and theatre productions can be transferred to the creation of virtual worlds.

Heather Maio-Smith is an award-winning interactive storytelling pioneer and technology visionary who brings over a decade of immersive storytelling leadership to StoryFile. In 2010, Heather developed the first 3D interactive conversation with Holocaust Survivor Rose Schindler through her creative agency Conscience Display. At the time, she was creating physical video installations at the United Nations, USC, and in Havana, Cuba, but she understood that the future of storytelling lay at the intersection of digital media and ‘natural conversation' and decided to create it.Heather developed a strategic partnership with two global entities with competencies in visual media and technology – USC Shoah Foundation and the Institute for Creative Technologies. The partnership she led has resulted in the development of a new medium – natural conversation video.Through Heather's leadership, immersive interactive natural conversation video has gone from being a concept to a reality, combining hi-fidelity multi-scopic video with voice commands to deliver commercial grade natural conversation with an individual, whether it's a life-sized video or on your mobile device, replicating the emotional experience of having a conversation with a person. She developed and pioneered Dimensions in Testimony, a program to interview Holocaust Survivors in volumetric interactive video without that survivor actually being present. Dimensions in Testimony won both the People's Choice Award and the Jury Prize at Sheffield Doc Fest in 2016. She produced and led the project before moving on to found and lead StoryFile.As a leader in content based technology, she has spoken about Natural Conversation at Microsoft (2017), US Holocaust Museum (2017), Dartmouth College (2018), FoST (2018), SXSW (2019), SXSW (2019), The LA Times Festival of Books (2019), M.I.T. (2020), and AI Summit (2020). Heather's work has been featured in Fast Company, NBC's The Today Show, The New Yorker, Reuters and BBC.
