Industry Influences in brief... 9/18/2017

Let's get this straight...

    - Roald Dahl / Lewis Carroll / Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) / Shel Silverstein / Edward Gorey ...

    NOT... Charles Schultz / Peanuts / Dr. Seuss or JK. Rowling

    - Sid & Marty Croft / Rankin Bass / Early 70's Electric Company / Looney Tunes / Hanna-Barbera / UPA ...

    NOT... Jim Henson / The Muppets and or Sesame Street

    - Spaulding Grey / Garrison Keillor / Tom Bodett / Joseph Campbell... NOT... Disney-fied / Pixar-like storytelling

    - PC... NOT Apple

    While I do LOVE Peanuts and Walt Disney... and respect Fred Rodgers, Jim Henson & Co. as well as everything Steve Jobs built to the ends of the earth... they really weren't big influences here. Well, Emmett Otter (Jim Henson) was a huge one, but that was about it. ~AA

MY ONE-MAN MEDIA CO.

Established in the San Francisco Bay Area of California in the heady-mix of the earliest days of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Google way back in 2004, A. A. Augustine's Media Co. was incubated for 3 years as a "retro-style", traditional and digital media company. The company officially launched in 2007 and since then, has gone on to create and produce multiple children's, tween and teen book series as well as their accompanying hard and soft product lines, podcasts and gobs of music and comic strips and of course, my flagship, kids and regional travel series encompassing over 300 episodes which have been broadcast on PBS, My Network TV, COZI-TV, KOFY, AMG and RTV as well as hundreds of smaller, local stations all across the US.
