For those of you who are willing to sit through an hour-long show we’re still going to broadcast the recording of the episodes live.  Those of you who make the effort to tune in while we’re recording will get a behind the scenes look at the making of the episodes along with some “bonus content” and bloopers that won’t make it to the videos.  We’re still going to spend about an hour with each guest, but we’re going to break the videos down into more digestible ten to fifteen minute chunks and release them as a series.  We’ve also got some ideas for producing some short, non-interview, segments related to the behind the scenes work we’re doing on our own Alternate Reality Game.  We would LOVE to hear your suggestions for these new segments so please let us know your ideas in the comments.

We appreciate Brian Clark’s patience with our first attempt at producing shorter interview shows.  Brian is the CEO of GMD Studios; an experimental media lab focused on the emergence of networked communities, audiences and marketplaces.  Brian put up with us for almost two hours while we recorded several episodes of Remix Fiction Television that spanned a wide range of topics relating to his company’s vision and practices.  Our first short-format episode with Brian is available now on our Vimeo channel.

They claim their latest project is a “pioneering concept offering a unique cinematic experience that breaks down the wall between actors and audience”.  Breathe will provide several layers of depth to serve a variety audience interactivity preferences.  Casual or passive audiences will be able to experience the narrative through three short films released weekly, and more active participants will have the opportunity to solve a murder mystery by interacting with characters from the story and could be featured in the films.

We’re looking forward to the launch of the first installment of Breathe which will coincide with the Power to the Pixel conference being held in London next week.  You can still reserve your seats for one of the free screenings being held on October 14th in the Debating Chamber at London’s County Hall at 7PM, 8PM (sold out), and 9PM.

Breathe is a continuing saga, the story starts in London, and moves to Paris, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Sydney, and ends in Berlin.  The project will work with local production crews, new and emerging local talent, artists, fashion designers, and musicians to deliver a localised experience, each comprising of film, live events, online interactions, adventure and much more.
