CJ HALBARD

STORY MAKER

I’m Colin ‘C J’ Halbard. I live in Wellington, New Zealand, in a wooden house on a high hill. 

​

I’ve spent my life building things. This has taken me into film, creative agencies, disaster recovery, government, tech startups, journalism, and video games. 

​

But at the core of it, almost everything ends up being about outsiders trying to make sense of the world, because, well, that’s me.

I do two main things these days: 

  • Writing and speaking about Project Tempest, a horror-based story setting on the wild New Zealand coast

  • Strategy consulting to ambitious startups through my company Man on Fire

 

If you’re interested in some things to check out, the Project Tempest Podcast, In a Nutshell Manifesto, free 1862 novella, andTempest Files are good places to start.
