Misfit Media works with creative producers to get to the heart of a project’s solutions, objectives, direction and scope to provide the right tools and strategies to move professional and creative expression forward. Our network includes a wide spectrum of talented people who can be assembled for multimedia content and web development projects.

Misfit Media is a contractor for your creative endeavors; we’re here to build your digital infrastructure and teach you how creative independent ventures may flourish by reaping the rewards of the online economy.

We’re familiar with building creative businesses from the ground up because we’ve done it. The company was founded in January 2009 with the birth of BrooklynTheBorough.com. This multimedia digital journalism project was based on a weekly column in the New York Observer by the same name.

We can build infrastructure that is highly customized like Brooklyn The Borough – a WordPress CMS uniquely designed to have a dialogue with readers holding a cross-section of interests – or we can give you the tools you need as an independent actor to create your brand or complete your project – and everything in between.

Our specialties include management, production, media strategy, creative criticism, digital presence, start up and web development, social media marketing, image consulting, styling, branding, publicity context & dialogue training.

Misfit Media is run by Creative Director Nicole Brydson, a jill-of-all-trades entrepreneur, cultural critic and native New Yorker, who expanded the company’s offerings to include consultation and production services for small independent businesses and endeavors run by musicians, filmmakers, artists, writers, performers and producers in New York City and Los Angeles.

If you have a creative project or business in need of consultation or a digital presence that needs some Feng Shui, please email us to request additional information and rates. We offer sliding scale prices based on the size of your organization because we know what it’s like to be independent.

As part of John Varvatos’ Thursday Nite Live Series, showcasing emerging musical talent on the hallowed grounds of the former CBGB’s in New York City, OUTERNATIONAL took the stage with Chad Smith on the kit earlier this month. The show was an unbelievable success, and those who missed it can catch a glimpse and an interview the band did with Chad and Matt Pinfield this Friday, February 24, on 120 Minutes on MTV2.

New York City’s Outernational has released Todos Somos Ilegales, a free 18 track genre-bending bilingual mixtape album featuring collaborations with Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman), Calle 13 (nine time 2011 Latin Grammy Winner) Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), plus special guest appearances by Tijuana songstress Ceci Bastida, transglobal tropical club DJ Uproot Andy and revolutionary leader Bob Avakian. This record is both sweeping and singular. Todos Somos Ilegales translates as “We Are All Illegals” and the record is a scathing expose of a system that criminalizes those who produce the wealth it rests upon. Over the course of 11 songs and 8 film-scored interludes, Outernational weaves together stories of the shadowy southern borderland, bringing the isolation, desperation, raw terror and bitter irony of the American past and present into clear focus, uniquely contrasting that with the band’s revolutionary vision of an emancipated humanity and a liberated planet. This is a unique musical experience, cinematic in scope. "Seeing is believing.  They are down for the cause.  They live it; it is no bullshit.  It's awesome and humbling and inspiring all at the same time.  The new grassroots movement has Outernational for soil." -Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

The 2011 production of Jester’s Dead had a great run at the PIT in New York City, receiving praise from Joonbug.com, who wrote, “creators Rhett Henckel and Nat McIntyre showcase their ability to harness the language of Shakespeare for new audiences in what they call ‘Shakesparody.’” DNAinfo.com picked up on the trend as well, writing “the dialogue is an intricate mash-up of fresh-from-the-film lines and classic iambic pentameter from Shakespeare’s library of plays.”
