The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend wins Tribeca’s Storyscapes Award
WE WON! After an exhilarating week at Tribeca Festival, we’re thrilled to share that Singer Studios won the Immersive Storyscapes award for our VR immersive narrative game, The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend.
The Jury comment praised The Pirate Queen’s “…outstanding technical execution, immersive user experience, and unique and untold story of a nearly forgotten woman in history.” To say team Singer is delighted is an understatement.
Eloise Singer & Lucy Liu - The Pirate Queen
Tribeca was an awesome experience. Eloise Singer, our Founder and Director, Siobhan McDonnell, our Producer, Maja Bodenstein, our Writer and Orion Lee, one of our brilliant actors, loved meeting a host of other VR experts and enthusiasts, and sharing The Pirate Queen with them in our exhibit.
Eloise really enjoyed taking part in a panel entitled: ‘The birth of a super-heroine. How women shape stories for the future generation’ alongside the endlessly intelligent and interesting Katayoun Dibamehr, Michaela A. Ternasky-Holland, Paisley Smith and Ana Ribeiro.
