I recently won a contract to deliver a REALLY exciting project for the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. The Tyneside Time Machine is an alternate reality game aimed at engaging 9-12 year olds in the heritage of this terrific independent cinema. The story centres on a girl who’s been transported into the past by a dicky projector at the cinema and the kids have to help get her back home. So The Wizard Of Oz meets Back To The Future. There’ll be online elements, original and archive film material, as well as a narrative journey through the building itself. It’s going to launch in early 2011, and will run for three years taking in somewhere in the region of 130 school visits. I’m currently putting together the creative team and will post more details here in the coming weeks.
