And what our site intends to bring to the table!
Here at StoriesinMedium.com we all love a good story. The format of how the story told is irrelevant to us: films, novels, television, comics, hell even old time radio (how can you not like listening to Orson Welles read War of the Worlds!), as long as the void in us that craves a good story is filled. So how did our love for the many different story telling art forms translate into a website, you ask?
It all started because we – Colin Enquist, Emil Tiedemann, and Goran Savic – seemingly were given the task of informing friends and family if the many films we saw were worth watching. This slowly blossomed into us sharing our thoughts and opinions on a few websites. With the progression it only seemed natural to build our own website. As we discussed the ideas we wanted to include, the suggestion came up that we should not only share our opinions and reviews of films, but should expand the site to include all the different types of media that are used to tell stories. So on January 1st 2009, StoriesinMedium.com was born.
Since the beginning our main focus has always been the film industry and it will still be the film industry but we now are giving ourselves more freedom to spotlight on other aspects of the storytelling mediums that we all enjoy. My fellow SiM writers and I want to bring you opinionated reviews of any story that we consume with our brains, eyes and ears. We also want to bring you some unique content with our original articles and musings about items that relate to any medium that piques our curiosity.
Since we started SiM in January we have done over 70 reviews, dozens of articles and many news items. While we plan on shying away from news in general, that doesn’t mean we will never post any. The news articles we post now though will be something we are excited for or something we believe you should be excited for it. Those readers who enjoyed the focus on movie posters and trailers do not worry; they will still be around, just in a little different format.
We have brought on a few more writers to help us through this transition and they will hopefully stick around for a long, long time. Make sure you welcome George Cavalenes, Matt Luecke and Ashley Kalagian as the new crop of writers next time you visit the site. I should also make special mention of Laura Gies who joined after the site was made, and has stayed with us!
All of us here at StoriesinMedium.com hope you enjoy the new direction. Let us know by commenting on the posts you like or send us an email at contact@storiesinmedium.com!!
