The 50/50 joint venture, called Digital Doorway, will be based in Glendale and focus on production and marketing of interactive gaming, entertainment and educational titles for the PC, console, hand-held and online markets. Digital Doorway management will be headed by Creative Capers founders Sue Shakespeare (CEO), Terry Shakespeare and David Molina (both executive vice presidents of creative design), and Rapture Technologies founders Doug Gillespie (president) and Jeff English (vice president of research and development).
