David Olusoga is leading an initiative in which 50 creatives will create immersive storytelling experiences in 15 locations this summer.
Inspired by Olusoga’s 2020 MacTaggart Conference, Royal Holloway and the NFTS’ StoryFutures Academy are launching StoryTrails with support from organizations including the BBC and BFI.
The 50 creatives will create augmented story walks in city centers, build immersive installations and develop virtual reality experiences to bring “untold” stories from the past to life, supported by an array of archival materials.
Olusoga, the executive producer of StoryTrails, said it would help pioneer creative storytelling on the 3D internet.
“StoryTrails represents a direct commitment to changing the face of the industry to reflect the diversity of talent across the UK and to use that talent to make the UK a world leader in immersive storytelling,” said he declared.
Professor James Bennett, Director of StoryFutures and StoryTrails, added: “We want to empower and enable diverse talents to become leaders in this new field of national innovation and culture and StoryTrails will offer these creative 5o’s the chance to let their Mark.
StoryTrails will run from July 1 to September 18 and culminate in a film presented by Olusoga which will be released in cinemas and via BBC iPlayer.
