As a Europe-based screenwriter/producer, I come from more of a film background than ARG, but I'm interested in cross-media as a storytelling tool and as a means to create puzzle-driven narrative mythologies. Though many people consider "The Beast" as the "Citizen Kane" of ARGs, I think it would be more accurate to compare it to Griffith's "Birth of a Nation". Both films represented a breakthrough in cinematography at the time of its release, but Orson Welles' masterpiece was really a quantum leap forward in style. In this regard, I'm currently designing an as-yet-to-be-launched ARG that will blur the boundaries of mainstream traditional ARG and other entertainment/narrative disciplines. Anyone interested in pushing forward the limits of ARG, please contact me.
