"Livin' in the Lateral"
Content Accelerator Pitch
Co-Creator
I was part of a two-person creative team behind the concept, outline, and design of a pitch as part of a Nickelodeon Content Accelerator (NCA) Contest.
​
This pitch was for the
"Big Kids Animation" category (ages 6-11+):
From the NCA details:
"We are partnering with Rise Up Animation and Ghetto Film School to solicit pitches for this program. This program is open to emerging professionals in the field of kid-focused content creation. We want to hear from people of color, creatives with disabilities, creatives in the LGBTQ+ community, or any other voices who have historically had limited or no access to the children’s television industry."
​
"Livin' in the Lateral" is a love letter to friendship and childhood. The concept explores the navigation of awkward youth, subsequent trauma, and resilience.

I wrote, performed, and recorded original educational songs for a sight words course. This was a remediation course for struggling non-native speakers. The songs accompanied readers (also written by me) and complemented interactive, synchronous online lessons.
