Creativity coach Dominick Domingo honed the craft of STORYTELLING during the Animation Renaissance, working on films like Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, Little Match Girl and One By One for Disney Feature Animation. In a world where Content Creation masquerades as Story for the almighty dollar, Dominick champions artistic integrity and literary value as ends in themselves. With the premise that purposeful contribution and mainstream success can be one and the same, he coaches creatives in connecting with their authentic voices and honoring inspiration, above all else.
After leaving Disney, Dominick’s live-action films won awards and garnered distribution in the festival circuit. This led to his lifelong love of writing being placed on the front burner. A published, award-winning screenwriter and author (of YA Fantasy, Narrative Nonfiction and Literary Fiction) Dominick is well-versed in the marketing challenge that comes with genre-blends and underrepresented, marginalized voices. As an LGBTQ2+ author, he advocates finding the universal in the subjective. In that spirit, his latest novel chronicles his own journey back from the brink of death due to full-blown AIDS as a parable for the spiritual journey we all share. Set to launch in May, 2023, The Seeker is Mythic Fiction (think Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles) meets Visionary Fiction (Paul Coelho’s The Alchemist) by genre.
As a companion piece, he will also be launching his definitive handbook on STORY, Language of the Soul. His first nonfiction book, it’s a comprehensive breakdown of Storytelling in all its forms, as applied in the arts and literature, academia, business practices, marketing, branding, content creation for social media and even propaganda. Emphasis is on personal voice and purposeful contribution to the collective. Dominick’s approach to the Creative Process is anything but elitist; the warmth of his message lies in accessibility and inclusiveness.
