About

The show that lived in your phone

Dirty Work launched Fourth Wall Studios' Rides.tv platform, a transmedia storytelling engine that synchronized web video with real-world communication. Characters would call your actual phone number, send you texts and email you directly.

As Associate Producer and a writer on the project, I helped create the world of the story, designed interactive elements, and oversaw the social media campaign around the launch.
