the story so far
Hi, I'm Patten, founder of ZedBear Media.
By profession, I'm an animation production professional. By nature, I'm a storyteller, researcher, and lifelong explorer of creative worlds.
Over the years, I've worked across animation and media production while developing my own projects, stories, and ideas. My interests range from animation history and visual storytelling to literature, film, worldbuilding, and creative development. I'm fascinated by the journey that takes an idea from a sketch in a notebook to a finished piece of work.
ZedBear Media was created as a home for that journey. It's a place to share original projects, development diaries, creative essays, and the discoveries that inspire them. Whether I'm exploring a new story concept, researching a forgotten piece of animation history, or building an entirely new world, I'm driven by curiosity and a belief that creativity begins with asking questions.
Thanks for stopping by and joining the adventure.
Why we create
ZedBear Media exists to explore ideas.
We develop original stories, creative projects, and imaginative worlds inspired by a love of storytelling, discovery, and lifelong learning. Through animation, writing, publishing, and creative development, we share the process of turning curiosity into creation.
Every project begins with a question.
The adventure begins when we decide to follow it.
Ideas rarely arrive fully formed.
This collection of projects documents the journey from first sketch to finished creation. Explore original stories, developing worlds, creative experiments, and the projects that continue to shape the future of ZedBear Media.
Meet Our Fellow explorers
No great adventure is completed alone.
ZedBear Media is built around collaboration. Depending on the project, the studio works with artists, writers, designers, animators, producers, and creative partners who bring their own talents and perspectives to the journey.
Every project is an opportunity to discover new ideas, build new partnerships, and create something that would not have been possible alone.
