Under the title “Hug the Alien”, the all-media platform Frankfurt StoryDrive is looking for the revolutionaries of storytelling. Anyone can apply who wants to turn the media world on its head – or at least move it forward – with their idea, vision, project, (narrative) concept, service, business model or technology. It doesn’t matter if it is a completed project, a script or an idea still in development, what counts is the potential to revolutionise and inspire. Applications are open to newcomers as well as experienced media professionals from the international publishing, film, TV and games industries.
At the pitching event “Hug the Alien”, the three most convincing candidates will be given the chance to present their visions to approximately 400 participants at StoryDrive. The event takes place on October 10, 2014, as part of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Five years ago, StoryDrive was still the alien at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Today the platform has become a fixed part of the Fair, and an essential date in the diaries of the international media and entertainment industry. With “Hug the Alien”, StoryDrive is giving all storytellers and media professionals an opportunity to present their visions to a wider public.
Interested parties may submit their entries by August 31, 2014, including a short profile of themselves or their companies and an outline of their project. All entries should be no more than 500 characters in length and written in English.
