It’s already set to be a Happy New Year for Dublin-based transmedia company beActive Media, as 2014 will see the Irish release for one feature project and the honouring of another in New York.

Having completed a circuit of some of the most respected festivals in Europe, Irish sci-fi ‘Collider’ is set to hit Irish screens this New Year on January 10th, 2014.

Based on a comic—book in turn inspired by the experiments performed at Switzerland’s CERN Institute, ‘Collider’ is a multi-platform time travel thriller that marks BeActive’s first foray into science fiction.

Spanning platforms including comic books, web series, two smart-phone games and a feature film, ‘Collider’ tells the tale of a planet plagued by natural disaster and a mutant race known as ‘the Unknown’, and the small group of scientists who must go back in time to save it.

Directed by Jason Butler (‘Republic of Telly’, ‘The Rubberbandits’), ‘Collider’ features Iain Robertson (‘Basic Instinct 2’, ‘Band of Brothers’) and Lucy Cudden (‘Pulp’, ‘Judas Ghost’) in the leading roles, with Emmy-nominated writer Nuno Bernardo producing alongside Triona Campbell and John McDonnell.

Filmed in a water treatment plant and old boutique hotel on Dublin’s outskirts, ‘Collider’ the feature is set to return home to debut in Ireland on January 10th 2014, with releases in Japan, the UK and the United States also.

This December also saw another announcement, with the Emmy-nominated ‘Beat Girl’ also named on the shortlist for Best TV Movie at the Kidscreen Awards, due to take place on February 11th 2014 in New York.

Also written by ‘Collider’ scribe and producer Nuno Bernardo, ‘Beat Girl’ features newcomer Louise Dylan as a classical pianist who finds herself torn between following her late mother’s path as world-famed pianist and her own attraction to the underground D.J. scene.

Produced by Triona Campbell and directed by Mairtín de Barra, ‘Beat Girl’ availed of Section 481 incentives as well as the Portuguese fund FICA. Also a transmedia project with spin-off books, games, and soundtrack CDs, the series is currently available on iTunes and digital distributor Hulu.
