Most of you should remember ‘Collider’, an Irish sc-fi film released only a few weeks ago. Most of us nerds and geeks flocked to the cinema for it, and I can safely say that we weren’t the only ones who thought it was brilliant. ‘Collider’ has now been nominated for an Emmy award!
It’s been nominated for ‘Best Digital Program: Fiction’ at the 2014 International Digital Emmy Awards. It is another coup for the Irish company that was also a nominee at this month’s International Children’s Emmys with ‘Beat Girl’. ‘Collider’ was directed by the ‘Republic of Telly’’s Jason Butler (his first feature), was produced by Dublin duo Triona Campbell and John McDonnell and written by award-winning writer-producer Nuno Bernardo. The graphic novel of the same name is available in most comic book stores in Dublin and the full multiplatform experience includes a series of 8* 11’ Webisodes, a 4-part 22’ TV Series, two mobile Apps (iOS and Android) and a collection of 6 digital comic books.
Here’s hoping they take the award home to Ireland, we’re all rooting for them here at Arcade HQ!
