STW's announces new slate of TV and movie projects
(Subject : Corporate - Type : Press Release)

After several months of literary development, STW's has chosen to push three new projects into visual development, with production of pilots to follow in a few months time.

The project's working titles are: 2R, Out There, and The Improbable Knight.

The following descriptions have been kept voluntarily short to keep the heart of the projects confidential:
- 2R is an epic story of power struggle, romance and betrayal set in the darkest times of the European middle ages. This ambitious "fiction series in animation" is aimed at adults and young adults and developed as 10x52minutes per seasons (but will be also available as 20x26minutes depending on broadcaster's requirements).
- OUT THERE is a Science fiction feature film aimed at a large family audience. The film tells the story of a young boy who discovers in an attic the blueprint of an amazing space ship - designed in the 19th century! - and sets out to find where it might still be hidden today.
- The Improbable Knight is developed both as an animated feature film and a TV series. Revisiting the fantasy medieval worlds of old, it follows the downfall of the once most famous of all knights...

More information and elements are available for potential partners and investors.
