Get involved in a ghost story now
Fourth Wall Studios announces the first slate of properties being developed for “RIDES,” a proprietary transmedia entertainment platform.
“Rides” are narrative experiences that deliver an unfolding story through multiple internet-connected devices. You’ll get involved in the story through your computer, your e-mail and phone. As the story unravels, don’t be surprised if you get a call from one of the characters, or a text message.
It’s an interesting concept, but will it catch on? Right now, Fourth Wall’s slate currently in development includes the following horror titles:
HOME: A GHOST STORY – Fourth Wall Studios’ first original Rides project launched in beta on October 17th. A short supernatural-thriller produced to showcase the RIDES platform. Two daughters come back to their family home to find their missing mother. Soon, they realize not all is as it appears… Start the experience at: HomeaGhostStory.com
DIRTY WORK – An interactive dark comedy series about a crime scene cleanup crew navigating the after-hours landscape of Los Angeles. The project is in pre-production with a script co-written by Aaron Shure (co-executive producer, THE OFFICE and EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND).
ZOMBIES! â A horror-musical zombie story that will explore song and dance on an entirely new platform. The last human brain was eaten Sunday… now it’s Monday morning. With no more brains to eat, the Zombie populace has to ask themselves, “What now?” Tyce Diorio (Emmy award winning choreographer of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE) is attached as the project’s choreographer.
FLARE – A post-apocalyptic story set in a future in which all the lights have gone out, including the sun. A year after the world darkened, a giant flare suddenly shoots up into the sky then repeats every 24 hours. A group of survivors believe it’s a beacon of hope and sets a course across the dangerous landscape to discover its origin.
