...because apparently, I do not. No wonder my slang is so dated.

Emily Pohl-Weary has hired me to do a videogame creating group for young folks in Parkdale, much like her lively and engaged program for writers:
http://parkdalewriters.ca

Ideally the participants will be between 16-24 and willing to travel to Parkdale each Tuesday starting Feb. 10th. They have to be terribly excited about making a videogame -- they do NOT have to have any programming skills, as we will be using point-and-click tools.

Maybe you have a younger relative who's game-crazy? Perhaps you have a friend who works with youth?

It's free. All folks have to do if they're interested is email me before January 25th and tell me what their favourite game is right now, and why.

I've attached a flyer for it and also for Rose's new filmmaking program. Please pass 'em around!

I've been doing this for a while, mostly with artists in their late 20s and 30s:

...and it's been really fun and effective at producing games (10 and counting!).

***IF YOU ARE OLD LIKE ME BUT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE VIDEOGAMES AND MOVIES!***

Then drop a line anyway. We will be starting another round of the Artsy Games Incubator in a few months and we are starting to make a new lo-fi sci-fi movie, which can involve all sorts of people in all sorts of ways.
