So I’m starting Odd Kid (@thisisoddkid)
Odd Kid is a small IP studio for strange, emotional stories. The goal is to build original worlds with artists, filmmakers, designers, animators, musicians, and technologists. Use new tools when they help, old ones when they don’t. The goal isn’t to make more stuff faster but It’s to make the right weird things better.
The focus is original IP. Films, series, shorts, experiments, and worlds that deserve to exist.
We’ll also collaborate on the occasional project with studios, artists, and partners when it feels creatively right. But the ambition is simple: create and nurture original stories, and help bring them into the world.
None of this would have happened without the support of Google and the people who opened the first doors: Thomas Iljic, Elias Roman, Josh Woodward, and everyone who believed there was something worth exploring here. Each new project led to another conversation, another room for collaboration/teaching/learning, another chance to meet streamers, studios, executives, producers, and artists I used to watch from very far away. It gave me a real foot in the door of an industry I’ve always loved, but never fully knew how to enter.
For the time being, I'm going to juggle this between my role close to Google Flow, quality family time, and building up more meaningful relationships.
We’re not trying to be the next Pixar Animation Studios because we’re busy figuring out how to be the first Odd Kid.
More soon.
