STORYTELLING DIRECTOR
Jordan Overton
I am an Atlanta native and I have a background in philosophy and am currently pursuing a master's degree. I love hiking, cooking, music, and - of course - writing. I am pumped to write with your kids, to learn from their perspectives, and to help them voice and embody their creativity to hatch something truly unique because that's what writing is all about!
Some of my favorite stories come from the Marvel universe--especially Spider-Man! I love how expansive the universe is, with such a diverse cast of hero and villain personalities, and seeing different versions of the same hero with a divergent backstory, personality, and motivations makes for such creative and engaging situations.
What makes being a story director so inspiring and fulfilling is being able to uplift the voices of young, creative minds. Everyone has a story to tell, and the courage it takes to tell your own really follows you throughout the rest of your life, especially when you are able to start young. To be able to witness and facilitate that creative growth firsthand is an honor!
