The Portal Post
I am developing IP for TV and film project and have created prototypes for various other physical merchandise. All the products I have brainstormed are designed to be made in Canada using local natural resources and our own supply chain once it’s established.
The Prototypes
The first two products are also the foundation needed to develop these product lines. You can learn more about them by looking at the Hydro Lodge and S.T.A.R.Tbox pillar pages.
The Portal Tree Chronicles
The flagship miniseries for Into The Portal Incubator. In a world where jumping through history is as common as turning a page, a Prince’s hilarious temporal prank on his younger selves collide with the gritty, potent realism of two performers discovering that while time can be bypassed, the weight of the human heart cannot.
All I See Is You
This is the first product line I hope to create. Inspired by a meditation of the interconnectedness of nature, this clothing line aims to capture the sense of whimsy, form, and function that became popular in the 1920’s and to use the simplicity and texture of both modern style and craftsman quality.
Into The Portal
An Adaptable Incubator and Streaming Platform
Turning place-based stories into competitive residencies, miniseries productions, and community driven festivals for global distribution. Creators can bring their own IP or work on projects that YSSL has spearheaded.
What Next
To build many of these projects locally a more cohesive infrastructure needs to be developed in Canada. Until then I will be working with local small batch manufacturers, local producers or creating products with international partners. The goal is to establish talent pools that will attract talent into underserved regions.
From IP to Team Build
The prototypes exist. The stories are written, the clothing line is designed, and the incubator model is mapped. Right now they live as IP and research.
I am now building the team and governance needed to take them from IP to production.
I am looking for pre-production partners and administrative specialists to help build that infrastructure. Operations, team building,
IP governance, and funding to support the build before production begins.
