| The Wind &
Thunder
Productions banner was born in June of 1998 when the then head of HBO Original Programming
asked Wind
&
Thunder's founder and principal, Patrick A. Horton, to submit a proposal for a three-part special
event series and national media campaign to address and impact trends in the
media industry within a rapidly changing world (see HBO
Addendum).
Wind
&
Thunder
Productions is currently developing a number of
traditional media projects in the form of motion pictures,
documentaries, and series
television. It is also launching somewhat less
traditional combinations of documentary work in tandem with media advocacy
and strategic
social entrepreneurial projects aimed at enhancing the media
industry itself and integrating media as a tool for promoting and
enhancing social change.
While all
this may seem at first blush to span widely
divergent interests and endeavors, they are unified by (and actively
promote) a radically
innovative paradigm of story with significant overlap in
tasks and activities that include:
- Media Production & Development
- Media Industry Resource
Development
- Social Entrepreneurship & Social/Media
Advocacy
Specific production,
publications, and social/media advocacy projects
already on the drawing boards and/or in varying stages of development -
many of which are based on or originated in services long provided
under
The Story Coach - Practical Magic banner - www.thestorycoach.com.
