Join us for a special IOM Community Collaboration event — Beyond the Island — an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with Kenny Diack, part of the creative team behind the official Black Mirror: USS Callister Comic and a long-standing member of the Isle of Man business community.
📖 Kenny will share his personal journey of working and living on the Isle of Man while being part of Twisted Comics, including his experience with the USS Callister Kickstarter project. Expect a mix of storytelling, insights into the world of comics, and an exclusive sneak peek into how comics are used beyond entertainment — as a medium for collaboration, innovation, and delivering powerful messages.
This hybrid event is open to both local and global audiences. Whether you’re a fan of comics, a creative, an entrepreneur, or just curious about the journey from the Isle of Man to Netflix’s Black Mirror universe — this is your chance to connect and ask questions directly.
🎁 Bonus: Registered attendees will get access to a VR comic sneak peek and a digital comic link from Twisted Comics.
