Just found out that this project I worked on exactly 10 YEARS AGO 🙀 got reviewed in brilliant detail on the cult series NightMind.
The Dexter ARG 🔪 was by far my favorite project of my advertising career. Fun fact: it was later even studied in university courses! 🎓
I was the lead writer at only 23, 💪 created the concept & helped win the @showtime pitch. Then me and the absolutely bonkers team of weirdos at Modernista! gave our lives to this beast for a whole summer.
Writing in advertising, you rarely get to feel like a ‘real writer’ (at least, I never did). So my inner writer is doing cartwheels right now.
This also reminds me how you can never connect the dots looking ahead, only looking back. 🙌
As a kid, I devoured Agatha Christie books. 🕵️♀️ As a teen, my older brother and I played puzzle-solving, point-and-click adventure games like Monkey Island. 🤓 When I heard about this pitch, it was like all that had LED ME TO THIS MOMENT.
So whatever your seemingly irrelevant past-times are, they might lead you to one too.
And who knows. Maybe there’s more storytelling to come from me. ✍️
PS If you wanna see the full game, I linked NightMind's video in my bio. @nicknocturne kills it. 😈
