Dead Pixels - Season 1

Season 1

Dead Pixels is about three friends, Meg, Nicky and Usman who play Kingdom Scrolls, the popular online role playing fantasy game, set in a magical world of wizards, orcs and wyverns. They are committed to the game. Because in the end, what's more important – playing badminton with your flatmate Alison, or defending Castle Blackfinger from marauding orcs? For Meg, Nicky and Usman it's no contest, the castle comes first.

In real life Meg and Nicky work in an office. They are not sure what Usman does for a living - but Usman has got his priorities right, if Castle Blackfinger needs defending, then grabbing a decent night's sleep would not only be selfish, it would be irresponsible. There's also Russell, the new guy at Meg's office. It's not that Russell is a bit annoying - he just doesn't understand the etiquette of online gaming - which makes him incredibly annoying. Meg doesn't fancy Nicky. Nicky definitely doesn't fancy Meg. Nothing will ever happen between them, not in this world or in Kingdom Scrolls.

Dead Pixels is an unusual mix of live action and animation, where the action is split between real life and Kingdom Scrolls, the online game.

The Ministry of Time
Upcoming

The Ministry of Time

The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.

The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.

When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
