No Limits Speaker Series presents: STORYTELLING with Kelly Younger

As practitioners of disruptive innovation through our Intellectual Anarchy discipline, Oceanit forges partnerships with some of the most innovative thinkers and organizations in the world. These partnerships cover a wide range of industries—from medicine and aerospace to energy and cosmetics. All share the uncommon thread of innovation, a thread that runs through intelligence, risk-taking, and perseverance, which informs our philosophical foundation of new breakthroughs and discoveries. Through our No Limits speaker series, Oceanit is delighted to share fascinating stories from people who move beyond what’s thinkable, sometimes what’s considered impossible—until it’s not.

Oceanit is honored to welcome Kelly Younger, screenwriter, TV writer, playwright, story consultant, and Emmy-nominated producer. He is the writer of the Amazon feature film CANDY CANE LANE, starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross, which premiered in December 2023 and quickly became the biggest Amazon MGM Studios-produced title of all time domestically. He also serves as a member of the Disney Animation Story Trust, working on such films as Moana, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, and others, and was part of the Pixar Animation Brain Trust on Cars 3, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward, and other forthcoming Pixar films. He is currently a tenured professor in the Departments of English and Theater at Loyola Marymount University where he leads writing workshops and teaches seminars in fairy tales.

Stories are a fundamental human art form that can help convey complex ideas in an accessible and relatable way. In this talk, Kelly will introduce us to the art and science of storytelling so that we can all appreciate this most fundamentally human skill. Kelly will speak on how Storytelling is fundamental to human communication and it is critical for everything from science to politics, engineering to innovation.

We are happy to welcome Kelly Younger as our next No Limits speaker on August 9, 2024.
