“My team and I had the distinct pleasure of working with Something’s Awry. They are creative storytellers, sticklers for detail and highly flexible and communicative. This was especially important because of the nature of the collaboration between the creative team and three global airline alliances. The outcome was a unique, captivating and-importantly-effective way of communicating our story.”

Kurtis Theorin

Creative Director, Lead Writer

“Recently named one of Toy News’ 30 Under 30 to watch in the toy industry, Kurtis holds a BFA in film production from Emerson College where he graduated summa cum laude. His script-writing panache and intelligent brand of humor is one of the reasons clients such as LEGO, Warner Bros. and Hot Wheels choose us to write and produce branded content and series for them. In addition to his commercial work he has written several award winning screenplays for short films and potential series. Most recently his highly ranked Sci-Fi series Kindly Metal Mother.

“This is a worthy writing sample for a clearly talented scribe with out-of-the-box, original ideas. If this show concept is any indication of potential, then this particular scribe warrants immediate industry attention.”
