Work in Development

Agentic is currently developing exciting projects focused on content creation in the digital space. Agentic is active in shaping the future of digital media within the industry, building the digital interface for traditional film and TV productions, and pioneering new interactive cross-platform and transmedia content.
 
Some of our current projects in development are:
 
MELTING SILOS 2012 – In partnership with the National Film Board, the third session of Melting Silos is in development.  Over four days of workshops, this event pairs digital media producers with traditional film producers for workshops and one-on-one sessions.  Teams educate each other, collaborate and develop new, pitch-ready transmedia content. 
 
WHISTLEBLOWERS – An Interactive game simulation allowing users to walk the path of the heroic individuals that step forward to expose corruption and wrongdoing from our society’s most powerful institutions. Each decision made involves moral choices, sacrifice, strategy and pure survival.
 
BY THE RAPIDS – We’re developing a universe to explore online for the characters of this animated series on APTN for season 5 launching fall 2012.

WE USED TO SING – Based on our animated video about the modern realities of climate change we are developing into a series. Told through the voice of First Nations storyteller, Victoria Hykes-Steere, we see the changes, hardships and unique perspective of the Inupiaq people toward the changing climate through a flash interface, making it accessible to all ages.
 

THE SPACESHIP AND THE COWBOY: An Economic Love Story –
This project blends live action footage with animation to educate on all levels about ‘earthship economy’.  It explores ideas of  living locally and sustainably, creating micro-economies that are community based, and the concept of ‘slow’ living.   THE SPACESHIP AND THE COWBOY was developed in the Melting Silos Program, which partners digital media developers and traditional film producers.
 
MOTHERS OF TECHNOLOGY: Fixing Your Family Byte By BYTE.
Mothers of Technology or “MomTech” is a new community site for mothers to read, play and share stories of their struggles with modern parenting and technology.  Users connect with each other, earn virtual parenting badges, and watch weekly video content.  Moms collect a daily badge that reflects a parenting or technology challenge, like “I lost my cell phone again” or “Today I tried Twitter”.   A weekly video hosted by slightly inept MOM-ologists Deb Williams and Ali Kelly present the week’s badges, along with a parenting challenge to be “solved” through technology and the help of celebrity guests.
 
WILD CANADA – Interactive companion site to new documentary series focused on the climates, animals, and habitats of Canada’s six major regions.  The site will allow users to further explore the areas outlined in episodes, including informational pop-up and geographical time travel through each region.
 

EAST VAN YO YO - In 2005, Phillip’s video camera was stolen. Three months later, the camera was returned with 60 mins of footage that turned out to be an amazing compendium of life of Aboriginal youth in Vancouver. We worked with the NFB and the Vancouver Police to develop some of the initial story ideas.
