BANNER SELL GOES HERE - FOR EXAMPLE PODCAST

Yomi Ayeni is an award-winning Transmedia creator, producer, filmmaker, and storyteller based in London. He is the creator of Clockwork Watch, a retro-futurist steampunk graphic novel series now in its 14th year. Set in a multicultural Victorian England where intelligent automatons demand equal rights, the story is told across graphic novels, immersive theatre, online platforms, and film. It has spawned three tangential story threads and live events at the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, LICAF, British Library, and Scottsdale Public Library in Arizona.

This year, Yomi debuts as writer and director of Age of Quorum, a 15-minute short film about what happens to the mind when it has nowhere safe to go, and a proof of concept for a 70-minute feature.

Yomi's earlier work includes Global E-Missions (ITV), winner of the 2002 Broadcast Award for Best Use of New Media, and Breathe (2009), one of the first interactive participatory stories to invite audiences to become characters in a film.

In 2015, Yomi founded We Are From Dust, a non-profit dedicated to participatory and interactive art in public spaces, managing sculpture parks in California and Bristol.
