IT Manager
Aurora was raised on the premise "Think Globally, Act Locally." Steeped in Science Fiction, her coinciding passion for the media decided her direction and tactics in the ongoing war against societal decay. She spent her youth as an actor, which lead her to film and television production – because with producers the true power lies. Frustration with Hollywood shifted her focus to video game production, and brought her out of the closet as a gamer. Credits include an Oscar-nominated feature film, a nationally-syndicated television show, a handful of commercials and independent films, and a medal for surviving both Electronic Arts and SEGA relatively intact. Her current focus is on building Panoramic Entertainment, a company devoted to creating intelligent and inspiring entertainment in various media, including her daily web comic "This & That."
