Launching Creativeland
“It doesn’t have to be perfect in order to still be great, and what matters is that you’re doing the thing”
In 2021 I’m featuring people on a Creative Journey during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is №1 in the series, featuring Dan O'Keefe and Tom Hillmeyer, founders of Creativeland. The company produces a live trivia show and branched off into podcasting and creative ventures.
What is your creative venture?
Tom: Dan O’Keefe and I make a weekly trivia show called Fast Facts Live (FFL). We broadcast Wednesday nights on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch. Players are able to respond with answers via a chat bot we call Chartybot. First place wins a prize, usually an emailed gift card.
Dan: Creative Venture sounds so fancy. It started out as just Fast Facts Live, an online trivia show, but now it’s expanded to be Creativeland, a media production company that has Fast Facts Live, In Conclusion: A Movie Podcast!, and basically anything else creative that Tom and I do.
Why did you start when you did?
Dan: Bars were closed, we were bored, Tom went “I want to start an online trivia show.” I said, “You should call it Fast Facts Live.” This was in April. 36 or so episodes…
