You may have noticed changes at Stellar Network in the last year. For a while we’ve been thinking about what it means to be a freelance creative in a digital world, and through 2010 our events championed entrepreneurial thinking and the bringing together of people from across sectors.
We have always encouraged people to work together across theatre, film and television, so immersive storytelling seemed like the natural next step after our years of advocating that people transcend their sectors and take advantage of new digital tools.
So as part of the Stellar community, you won’t be surprised to hear that we’re very excited about the new wave of immersive stories- people coming together from traditional creative industries to work on stories that happens across different platforms, be they film, live performance, webseries, radio … and so on.
In future, collaboration and connection will be a huge part of the way we create and consume cultural content. Immersive, interactive storytelling is a genre that’s exploding across the industries, and we’re putting our stake in the ground – we think it will shape the future for all of us.
To see why, look out for our Friday blog post which summarises some of the most exciting developments so far.
But what does this mean for the Stellar community? Well, this is an open playing field. The leaders of tomorrow are yet to be decided. Broadcasters, brands and production companies are desperately looking for ways to consistently access quality talent and content that works across multiple platforms.
We think that talent is already here – in our Stellar Network community.
So we’re now here to help you, the talented Actors, Writers, Directors and Producers from more traditional media, and get you connected with opportunities, training and conversations about the future of storytelling.
Ultimately, this is about you telling your story and getting it seen on as many platforms as possible, and Stellar Network is here to help you do that.
