The date to participate in this trial is over but I think it is an interesting project by Blast Theory that worth mentioning.
Blast Theory is running a trial episode of an ‘SMS Drama’ Ivy4Evr -
created by Blast Theory together with Tony White. It’s a one episode
pilot commissioned by Channel 4 Education.
The trial runs from 10th-16th October and it all happens via SMS -
it’s about 17-year old Ivy who becomes part of your life over seven
days, getting ever more intimate with you. For a week she’ll tell you
**everything** but can she trust you and what will you tell her?
Even though it’s aimed at young people we’re encouraging friends and
colleagues to sign up and give us feedback at the end of the trial
that will assist in the potential development of a 6 episode series.
Everyone who registers and verifies by midnight on 9th October goes
into the running to win an iPad.
To register visit www.ivy4evr.co.uk
To sign up to participate is free, messages received from Ivy are
free, SMS messages sent to Ivy are sent to a standard mobile phone
number and charged at normal rate.
