 | When politics became a game, we made a game out of politics. Game designers Steve Barger and Gray Smith make up Dream State, LLC. They were inspired to create CITIZEN more than a decade ago after a grueling stretch of Congressional gridlock. Smith, a public media executive by profession, wanted to shine some light on who pulls the government strings by creating a set of baseball-style trading cards for each member of Congress, with voting stats and major campaign contributors. When he showed a sample to longtime friend Barger, a global video producer and project manager, Barger said, “A good idea, but you should make it move.” And so they did.
Amber VanDyke, Ben Kemble, Stephen Kertis, Amber Garvey, and Brett Marshall of Kertis in Louisville, Kentucky led the project management, art direction, design, and marketing of CITIZEN.
This Kickstarter account was created for the production of CITIZEN. While it shows that we have backed 0 projects, the associates involved have backed numerous projects through their personal accounts. |
