the anthem for critical thinking worldwide. The animated version of
Storm will be released online in October 2010. Producer Tracy King
will be talking about how the film came about and giving exclusive
insight into the team's process, including showing you exclusive
artwork and footage not available to the public! She will be joined
afterwards for your questions by the film's director, DC Turner.

Tracy King runs a busy marketing company in London, UK whose clients
include various skeptic organisations such as JREF. Her mainstream
clients have included UCAS, Lloyds TSB and Macmillan Publishing. She
is the Producer of Tim Minchin’s Storm movie, the organiser of TAM
London and the co-organiser of The Big Libel Gig. Tracy speaks on a
range of topics including viral marketing and advertising psychology,
is a gaming and comics geek, and has a world record for spoonbending.
