BCre8ive: Interactive Story Competition – Closing Soon

Do you have an idea for an interactive story?

Bring your story to life in an interactive way? With £8,000 production funding guaranteed, mentoring support from the BCre8ive team, Settle Stories and TELL in the BCre8ive Lab with crowdfunding courtesy of Crowdshed; this is a unique opportunity to create for a new digital platform.

Why an interactive Story?

Interactive Storytelling is becoming a mainstream form of entertainment. Interaction has many layers, from audiences directly influencing a dramatic storyline to narratives that lead the audiences to explore storyworlds. As with all stories, the key is interesting characters in worlds you want to explore and journeys that you want to travel.

With this project BCre8ive and Settle Stories have partnered with TELL a new platform for publishing interactive stories. In your submission to the BCre8ive Lab we are looking for great characters and engaging story options. Fully worked out interactive story narrative can evolve in collaboration with Settle Stories and the TELL team.

TELL is a new platform set to launch in the second half of 2015. It has been built by the team behind the successful interactive experience ‘The Nightvision Experiment’.

TELL allows stories to be constructed using video, audio, text, html and photos. These elements are woven together using ‘story bricks’ giving lots of flexibility for producers and audiences to explore a story.

The Story Brief

The narrative can be in any genre, have up to 6 characters, and be set in a contemporary world – ‘A Place like Settle’.

The story experience is aimed at digital natives (typically 12 – 35 year olds) and is open to wide interpretation. ‘A Place Like Settle’ is a theme where ‘like’ is the key word. You are encouraged to interpret this as widely as possible, while still allowing the production to be shot in contemporary settings – with a few special effects.
