Digital Circus Media, a new indie set up by Clark Bunting and David Wheeler, is working with Stephen Ellis to develop state-of-the-art transmedia IP for global entertainment consumers.<\/p>\n
The first project from the collaboration is Blur<\/em>, which is an immersive sci-fi TV series and multiplatform video game, in simultaneous production. It is based on a fully developed novel, original scripts and game design by Wheeler. The stories follow a flawed human-trafficking detective who is dangerously obsessed with an elusive witness in a dark, futuristic wonderland.<\/p>\n Bunting is the former president and general manager of Discovery, while Wheeler is a former senior creative director for EA. Ellis, meanwhile, is a veteran Canadian producer\/distributor. He previously headed up Ellis Entertainment.<\/p>\n Bunting commented of the new initiative, \u201cIt\u2019s an exciting time to be creating content outside the traditional box, and Blur<\/em> fits the bill of our story-centric approach to convergent media.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe time is right for story-telling that co-exists in the multi-screen environment across both the television and game worlds,\u201d said Wheeler.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to join the dream team of Clark and David, and harness what Canada brings to the table in producing for both the TV and digital gaming platforms,\u201d said Ellis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Digital Circus Media, a new indie set up by Clark Bunting and David Wheeler, is working with Stephen Ellis to develop state-of-the-art transmedia IP for global entertainment consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
