At Seen on the Scene, you don’t have to hope you’ll meet the right person. You’re already sitting next to them.

One day, one gorgeous theater of filmmakers, investors, and executive producers experiencing YOUR work on screen, together. 4 years in, Saturday was the clearest proof yet that high-value and long-lasting relationships happen when everyone’s success is in the same place at the same time. This is #WhatWeWatch #SOTSIV #IndieFilm

This week on Black Geek Energy, Jardo and D'Marcus sit down with Christopher and Steffon of The Creative Extreme to talk about the creation of Project 365, an ambitious interconnected comic universe built in just one year. They discuss world building, balancing creativity with business, finding artists, collaborating as longtime friends, and why originality comes from your characters, not just your ideas.

The conversation also explores independent comics, X-Men '97, Star Wars, Batman, storytelling advice for aspiring writers, fictional creation myths, and the inspiration behind their short film Alpha Initiative Zero, now streaming on VetStream TV.

Plus, we play Name That Universe, share our latest entertainment recommendations, and wrap things up with our signature 17 quick-fire questions.

If you love comics, anime, movies, gaming, world building, and conversations about geek culture through a Black lens, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
