In this exclusive talk, Jeff Gomez CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment and the world's leading producer of transmedia entertainment properties, recounts his personal journey from the inner city to the soundstages of the greatest movies and video games of the past decade. Jeff will recount how his understanding of the fundamentals of storytelling and interactive technology in the 1980s influenced his ability to foresee and develop the techniques of multi-platform narrative being used today in projects as diverse as James Cameron's Avatar and Microsoft's Halo, as well as the nation-building we are witnessing in the wake of the so-called Arab Spring.
