In 2017 I founded Mythic AI, a boutique consultancy specializing in generating insights about the collective unconscious from content on the web. After two years of working with brands such as Legendary Entertainment and Warner Brothers Entertainment, I received a lucrative offer to buy my domain name from another AI-based startup, accepted the offer, and reincorporated under a new name, while keeping my clients.

Borat 2

Amazon
I worked directly with Sacha Baron Cohen to produce a 10-minute trailer which was used to shop the movie around to various potential buyers. Ultimately it was sold to Amazon for $80 million and became the #1 movie on their platform, the #1 movie during the weeks surrounding the election, and the #1 most-streamed movie of 2020, surpassing even Disney's "Mulan".

Pokémon Detective Pikachu
Warner Bros / Legendary / Pokémon Company
Warner Bros / Legendary / Pokémon Company
Pokémon is the most lucrative entertainment brand in the world (over $100 billion grossed since 1996), so perhaps it's no surprise that when I came aboard this project, I ended up acting as a consultant and liason between multiple corporate entities (above), studio executives, and key creatives to contribute story, music, visual effects, and marketing materials. This included creating social content designed to reach specific demographics in various territories around the world. I also produced a promo which featured custom animation provided by the Academy Award winning animation studio, MPC. Before the film was even released, Detective Pikachu became one of the breakout memes of 2019, and the teaser-trailer I produced became one of the most popular of 2019 - surpassing even the teaser-trailer for the final Star Wars film in YouTube views - a goal I had set for myself a year earlier. Ultimately the film grossed over $433 million. Pokémon is the world's #1 entertainment brand and Pikachu is the world's #1 most-recognizable character. I grew up with Pokémon and Pikachu, so I was thrilled to play a role in bringing him to life.

I created the first pieces of advertising that introduced the world to The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie. The LEGO Movie teaser was such an overwhelming success, that Warner Bros. greenlit three additional films, launching an entire franchise that ultimately generated over $1 billion dollars. The Advertising website/magazine Ad Age called it the "best of the decade." LEGO is the world's #1 toy brand.

Pop Culture Alchemy
E-Commerce
E-Commerce
Years ago I began a practice of creating a t-shirt for each new chapter of my life, by combining a quote from pop-culture with a powerful image. After many people asked me for the shirts, I decided to release them publicly, so I connected a Print-On-Demand fulfillment center to my Etsy account and launched this e-commerce project so I can share the magic with others.
