The Evolving Media Podcast

Jeff Gomez from Starlight Runner Entertainment has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to creating stories and story worlds that resonate with and engage audiences. Lately Jeff's been championing the theory of a Collective Journey slowly taking over the role that the traditional Hero's Journey has occupied in the narratives of different media properties. In this talk we'll dive into the Collective Journey more and take an in-depth look at the Narrative Reversal - i.e., what do you do if and when the audience turns against you?
