Bio
Kurt McClung
Erwan le Breton is one of the best Creative Captains I have ever had the joy of crewing alongside in narrative capacity. Not only is he good at plotting the strategic course of an IP through the devastating and inky waters of transmedia development, but he has the gusto to effectively lead and rally the creative hearts of writers, illustrators, game designers and programmers. In a nutshell, Erwan has the gift of creative vision and knows how to infect others with his passion to bring the stuff of dreams to life. I've worked on his projects for over ten years at Ubisoft, and I have never met anyone that does more marketing homework when positioning an IP, but is still able to throw the numbers aside the time to craft a world's unique signature. He knows how to pitch up and down, starboard and around. I recommend him wholeheartedly to any company looking for someone to man the helm of original IP content creation and development in any entertainment media with Feature Franchise, AAA+ or GaaS ambitions.
