Description

For people who make, fund and love games, film and TV: long-form conversations with the people behind PlayStation, BioShock, Fallout and Deadpool.

Hosted by Pete Bell, founder of Purpose Made and former Head of Strategic Transformation and Growth at Electronic Arts.

Games are the starting point. Each episode goes deeper into how a game becomes a franchise: video game adaptations for film and TV, transmedia storytelling, IP strategy, and the business of the studios, publishers and investors who decide what gets made and what lasts.

Guests have included Shawn Layden (former Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios and President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America), Ken Levine (creator of BioShock), Tim Cain (co-creator of Fallout), Danny Bilson (writer of The Rocketeer and The Flash, former THQ executive and Chair of USC Games), Fabian Nicieza (co-creator of Deadpool), Jeff Gomez (transmedia strategist and founder of Starlight Runner), Simon Pulman (entertainment attorney at Prior Cashman), Peter Levin (Managing Director and Co-Founder of Griffin Gaming Partners), Russell Binder (Partner at Striker Entertainment) and Richard Browne (games executive and publishing consultant).

If you are a player, creator, studio leader, publisher or investor who wants to understand where entertainment is heading, you are in the right place.
