I Love Boosters (2026, Dir. Boots Riley)
Wrote about the dangers of world building this week. Come for the Backrooms, stay for The Dark Crystal!
I wrote about why I love world building and how we approached it on #InfinityTrain. And now you can read it!
Rambled about writing for Among Us, I Love Boosters and why I love cartoony gags with something to say!
“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”--
Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.
I can’t wait for people to see this.
Here it is, here’s episode 1 now, you can watch it now for free wow cool!
AMONG US IS HERE! Thrilled to write for this confidently bonkers sci-fi comedy murder mystery made by the best crew of artists and one secret impostor trying to undermine the creative process (def not me 🤫).
First ep is free on YouTube, full season is avail to stream nowwww!
Last year I started my own indie animated show called King Cockroach Live!, an outline-driven improvised livestream with story arcs, reoccurring characters, and interactivity. Our little team of 3 puts a ton of work into this each week - hope to see you there! twitch.tv/BossBugKC

Was thinking about the characters in Among Us recently and remembered that no one really knows anything about them. I'm not normally in this situation, as usually I'm on something people already kind of know.
Based *purely* on character designs, who do you think you're going to be the most into?
