Welcome to the IP Incubator!

Yo! I'm Miles Crossman - filmmaker, writer, and apparently someone who thought launching a feature film and a book series in the same month was a good idea.

So here's the deal: I'm not here to teach theory or sell you some course about "the secrets of IP development." I'm actively doing this stuff right now, in real time, and I figured - why not document the whole process?

What I'm working on:

My feature film The Princess & The Dragon is hitting festivals now and releases wide in late April. At the exact same time, I'm launching The Remnant Chronicles - a dark fantasy series I am in the process of writing (60,000-80,000 words, structured as four novellas).

Yeah, probably should've spaced those out. But here we are.

Why you should care:

Because I'm going to show you everything. The stuff that works, the stuff that crashes and burns, the actual numbers, the distribution headaches, the marketing experiments, the cross-promotion attempts - all of it. No filter, no "guru" nonsense, just what actually happens when you try to build IP across multiple formats.

I co-founded The Grand Illusion Film Company, I've made a bunch of films, written and produced over 200 episodes of TV (true crime and documentary stuff), and I have a Master's in Film Studies that mostly taught me that real learning happens when you're in the trenches actually making things.

This community is for people who want to DO this, not just talk about it. Whether you're a filmmaker who wants to write, a writer who wants to adapt your work, or you've just got a story burning a hole in your brain that needs to exist in multiple formats - welcome.
