My half marathon adventures on the Great Wall of China

So we did it. Marianne and I completed the half marathon on the Great Wall of China on May 19th, 2012. It was the hardest thing I’ve had to do but also the most rewarding.

I’m so excited that we have embarked on this journey. I hope you enjoy the video we made of our run. We didn’t get the village we ran through on the video but we got the wall which was amazing and I’m sure what you all wanted to see!

Woohoo!

I'm speaking at Transmedia London 5 in May!

I’m really excited. I have to fly through London on the way to China for our half marathon. When I’m on the way back I get to speak at Transmedia London 5 on 29 May, 2012 at BAFTA.

I’ll be talking about my web series Raptured, what I learned from making the first series and what I’m going to do with the second series (eek!). I really want to put more of a transmedia element to it to tell the story of the new Raptured world. Anyone interested in helping, do let me know. (No seriously. I mean it. Email me.)

The event is organized by Adrian Hon and Rachel Clarke in conjunction with BAFTA and Women in Film and TV. Adrian is the co-founder and CEO at the award-winning Six to Start where he created Perplex City, Smokescreen, and We Tell Stories while Rachel Clarke is a social media and digital comms strategist at Momentum Worldwide.

Also speaking on the night is Hilary Perkins, Multiplatform Commissioning Editor for Drama and Film at Channel 4, whose work includes the BAFTA-nominated Misfits and www.dreamsofyourlife.com, and Louise Downe, a service designer & thinker who is a senior consultant at Seren Partners.

Come down and say hi!
