Hey all-
I wanted to call attention to a project a friend of mine is involved with that's geeky enough to be of interest here and will be premiering at PAX East.
Here's the copy:
When I Grow Up: It’s Never Too Late to Try Something Crazy
Wyvern Theatre
Sunday, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Two years ago, Sean Baptiste was at the top of his game. A wunderkind in social marketing in the game industry, he traveled the country meeting fans and celebrities- promoting games he loved. But an inoperable brain tumor and a series of surguries led to long ICU stays over several months. He came home and discovered that he had major memory problems-at times even forgetting his own name. Struggling with simple tasks most take for granted, Sean decided to do the scariest thing he could think of: stand-up comedy. A documentary crew followed Sean as he met a tutor, did an open mic, and debuted in a local stand-up night. Did he succeed? Watch the premiere screening of ‘When I Grow Up’ and talk to director (Trevor Chamberlain), stand-up tutor (Dana Bein) and editor (Jon Mercer) to find out!
here's the main site for the project: WHEN I GROW UP
Here's a video where he talks about what he thought plumbers did when he was little and had an NES.
And here's one a little closer to home: "Sean decided he wanted to be a dungeon master when he grew up. We didn't have the heart to tell him that A: not a real thing (at least not the way he thought) and B: A game about credit scores would not be "AMAZING" (Sean's words)"
I've seen a little of the footage and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!
