About this site

Hi!

My name is Jim Kleckner and I'm a comedy writer and maker of things on the internet.

My latest projects (updated 05/07/12):

FAT KID NINJA iPhone Game - Fat Kid Ninja is about an adorable little chubby kid who goes to war against an army vegetables. I helped create the character, wrote/voiced the cut scenes, and led the creative team in bringing the game from idea to the App Store. PLAY IT IZ FUN.
Writer/Producer at ACTV8.me - ACTV8.me is a second-screen platform that's making TV more interactive and fun. Partners include FOX Broadcasting Company (New Girl, SYTYCD and MasterChef), Mark Burnett (The Celebrity Apprentice) and Oxygen Media (The Glee Project).
For much of my professional career I've been the Head Writer at LiquidGeneration.com. We make original, pop culture-inspired animations, web shows and games for people who like to laugh. Our work has been talked about or featured in Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly, CNN, Howard Stern, Maxim Magazine, Gawker, Star Magazine, Best Week Ever, G4TV, and the Chicago Sun-Times.
I'm also a founder of LiquidGeneration's creative services arm, Brand Blaze, where we make branded entertainment for Fortune 500 companies. As Head Writer, my team and I were responsible for creating campaigns, games and web shows for the US Army, Microsoft (Xbox 360), Paramount Studios, Miramax, Sony (Playstation) and Unilver (Axe Deodorant). We worked with FOX DIGITAL on a 20-episode run of the animated recap series "For Your Eyes Only" for the final season of 24. We've also produced a 10-episode recap series of the latest season of So You Think You Can Dance.

In addition to the above I enjoy photography and making picture-based stop-motion music videos. Step over to my Vimeo page to see some of this work. I'm very proud of it.

I live in Downtown Los Angeles, but home is always going to be Chicago.
