[edit] Story & Style Guides
Starlight Runner creates and expands fictional universes in the form of elaborate intellectual property Bibles and Story & Style Guides. A property that boasts a significant self-contained world will benefit from this treatment, as it provides the story world with a powerful mythic, thematic and visual foundation.
An elaborate “living” document that will be used to create consistency in all aspects of production, licensing and merchandising, the guide will be produced in full color, and will cover all major characters, story arcs, world details, weapons, vehicles, creatures, technology, magic and insignia. This allows for multiple franchise extensions into traditional, interactive and advanced media.
[edit] Advanced Media Content
Starlight Runner works in a full spectrum of different mediums to get content to the consumer: Music, movies, television programming, video on demand (VOD), games, news, telephony, text messaging, email, photos, e-video, live events and a network of devoted fans it has cultivated relationships for over a decade.
Starlight Runner Entertainment has realized the potential of this opportunity, by forming a network capable of producing viral and sponsor-driven entertainment content designed to appeal to teenage and young adult viewers of mobile, downloadable and VOD programming.
Starlight Runner is currently producing advanced media content for major Los Angeles-based studios, as well as with such production partners Gravity Entertainment, Hand Picked Films, Kuzui Enterprises, A.P.N.G. Enterprises and American Movie Machine Independent. With such original titles as IM from Tokyo, Urbana and Willy Liar, Starlight Runner is now also launching original intellectual properties through this rapidly expanding medium.
Starlight Runner seeks controlled growth in this space, and is now joining with additional production partners capable of providing animation production, financial and business development.
[edit] Publishing
Starlight Runner Entertainment also publishes original work through its imprint Kissena Park Press. They released Marathon by William Winokur in 2006 and are in the process of publishing Winokur's second novel The Third Miracle.
