Who is Matthew Wayne Selznick?
I’m a creator whose toolbox includes words, music, audio and video. Everything I make has at least one version that is free to read, listen to, or view. If you like what I do, I hope you'll compensate me for my work according to what you think my effort and the experience is worth!
As an evangelist for the DIY ethic, I support neo-patronage, open media, the merging of on-line and traditional content delivery, copyright and patent reform, community, and independent creative endeavors of all sorts.

day job,
jetset studios.
My day job, Jetset Studios, is an award-winning transmedia entertainment marketing and production house based in West Los Angeles. We conceive and create websites, rich media, viral video and applications for movies, television shows, big brands and non-profits, as well as our own original content. We’re story-focused, kinda geeky… and it’s pretty much the most fun I’ve had at work, ever.
We’re looking for someone with deep expertise and experience with Flash Media Server to help us with a new interactive viral platform. This would be a contract position on a project to project basis… and there will be numerous projects. If the right person proves themselves invaluable and everything works out, it may turn into a regular hire situation.
In addition to being a Flash Media Server wizard, the right candidate has…
- …experience with both client and server-side scalable online video (Flash and other formats)
- …experience with visually intensive interactive applications
- …experience with asynchronous processing and message queues
- ..experience with TCP/IP and socket connectivity
The usual set of interpersonal and work ethic standards apply:
- A sense of urgency
- A sense of ownership
- Client focus
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- A passion for emerging technologies and best practices
Mega-Superstars will also have familiarity with social networking APIs and VoIP as a plus.
Remote work is okay, but we strongly prefer someone based in Southern California who is available for occasional on-site meetings.
If you know anyone who fits the bill… or if, perhaps, you fit the bill… please get in touch with me. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about Jetset Studios and this unique contract position.
Thanks in advance for helping us find our Flash Media Server ninja!

free,
shopping.
Hey gang. There was a little upgrade issue with YAK, the shopping cart plugin that powers the sale of ebooks and chapbooks on this site. It’s all better now, so you can get back to buying my stuff! Here! I’ll make it easy for you!
Buy E-Books!
Buy Chapbooks!
Each title is limited to 100 signed and numbered copies that are hand-made when you place your order, making each individual chapbook a true collector’s item. Quantities are extremely limited on some titles. When 100 are sold, I will never again produce handmade chapbook editions of that title… so don’t dawdle!
Each chapbook also includes an essay written especially for the chapbook edition and not found anywhere else. Chapbooks are $10.00 shipped anywhere in the United States; $15.00 shipped anywhere outside of the United States.
Other Stuff To Buy
In addition to the items sold directly through this website, you can also find all of the above available in the Amazon Kindle store, and “Brave Men Run – A Novel of the Sovereign Era” and “The Sovereign Era: Year Two” are also available in paperback. Just check out the Matthew Wayne Selznick author page at Amazon for more details!
You can also get the J. C. Hutchins / Matthew Wayne Selznick collaborative music project, “Anyman: The John Smith E.P.” in CD or digital formats from CD Baby.
Finally, I’m happy to accept payments on a “what you think it’s worth” basis for all of the content I make freely available. Look for the PayPal buttons anywhere you find free music or fiction on this site… and thanks!

technical difficulties.
Update: The online store is fixed. You may order e-books and chapbooks once again! Thanks for your patience! — 07-26-2010
I’m irritated. You might be irritated, too, if you’ve tried to purchase any of my short stories or books directly from me through this website any time in the… oh, wait, I don’t know how long this has been broken..!
In any event, yeah, it’s broken. You’ll notice all the prices are at zero and the quantities in stock are “sold out.” I’m miffed. I now have to spend a piece of time fixing everything. Not how I wanted to spend my Sunday.
Grumble.
In any event, if you were trying to buy something from me and find that you can’t, please accept my apologies. It’ll be fixed as soon as possible.
Dammit.
