The brainchild of Micho Marquis-Rose, one of MIPTV 2012’s “New Producers to Watch”, this French-language drama is totally interactive, in that viewers can influence plotlines’ outcomes.

Hors d’ondes: Confessions d’une téléréalité
(Sympatico.ca/Turbulent)

“Off the Air: Reality TV confessions” is a French-language interactive web drama. Viewers can use their webcams to trigger hidden content, such as a character’s thoughts at a given time.

Also in French, “Les Enfants de Bolduc” is a radically-designed, off-kilter web drama, where the audience can notably intervene to change the music played in the show, for example.

All of the above projects were supported by The Canada Media Fund (CMF/FMC). They have joined forces with Telefilm Canada to bring you MIPCOM’s Canada Country of Honour programme. Find out more about Canada at MIPCOM here.
