Geoffrey Long’s Summary

I've always been a storyteller, which has manifested itself in novels, films, videogames, websites, and marketing campaigns for industry. I've been a film producer, a magazine editor, a web producer, and the designer for countless projects including books, magazines, CD covers, and media packages. At the moment I'm conducting research at MIT on how to tell a story across multiple media, or 'transmedia storytelling'.

I provide creative consulting services to various industries, which includes design services, digital strategy, and content creation. Please contact me for more details.
