Series Collaboration

Published by Treist under Opinion

Last night, sitting alone in the dark, plotting as I usually do when I can’t sleep, I came up with a perfect idea for this collaborative series side-project I want to do. As I said before, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, off and on for little more than a year now. [...]

Won’t Bond with You Over Music

Published by Treist under Sketch

Start a production company and run it like a band, where each of the founding members of the group operates as equal members of the group. Companies, like bands, can break up, it’s founders dispersed. And the members can join other groups, have side-projects or cut independent labels. But the company, like the band, earns [...]
