New Project

Over the next two months I will be working as a mentor for Teesside University, Digital City Fellowships scheme.

I was aware of Marc's project thanks to contact from Vin Arthey, an experienced producer currently at Teesside University with an eye for a good story.

I'm really excited about the project Digital City approached me with. Digital City are creating some real innovative work which is just my thing. Fellow Marc Ganley is currently developing a script for an hour long TV documentary based on the last Viking invasion of England which took place in 1066. It's already a cracking piece of work and has great potential as a doc/drama. As working with his illustrator shows, Marc has already put a lot of work into the research and Duchy hopes to help steer this ambitious project to the next level. While working well for the domestic market the project as Marc has created it has great international potential.

Duchy have a long established tradition of new technological approaches to working with animation/illustration and historical based drama projects that are developed in an imaginative, dramatic and innovative form. Marc's "Viking Invasion" is going to be another.
