Chocolate Liberation Front gets interactive with high-profile international projects

Melbourne, September 25 2009 - Cutting-edge independent production company Chocolate Liberation Front (CLF) is rapidly establishing itself as the interactive developer and producer of choice, securing a number of key multiplatform projects with international partners in Australia and Canada.

 

Since launching only a few months ago, CLF has opened a studio in Toronto and has already been commissioned to create the interactive strategies for some high-profile projects, working with major international producers and broadcasters.

 

CLF is currently in production with the multiplatform extension of the new 8-part television series, Death Comes To Town, from well-loved Canadian comedy troupe, Kids in the Hall. Accent-KITH Productions has engaged CLF as the strategic interactive partner for this property, airing on CBC Television in 2010.

 

CLF is also developing the interactive strategy for Mark Lewis' feature-length theatrical documentary, Cane Toads, a follow up to the 80's cult classic. Shot in 3D, the film is being produced for Participant, Discovery Network US and ABC Australia by Radio Pictures.

 

In addition, CLF is co-developing a linear TV series alongside interactive content for Vishus Productions' original property Figaro Pho, based on the Logie award-nominated shorts originally created for ABC TV.

 

CLF's Frank Verheggen says: "We are excited to be working with these brilliant partners. Each of these projects allows us to explore innovative new tools and technological approaches. We hope to continue to attract international partners looking for our unique cross-platform expertise."

 

These interactive partnerships follow hot on the heels of CLF's first major development project, The World of Infinite Curiosity, which is a far-reaching multiplatform project for family audiences, currently in development as a triple-A videogame with funding from Telefilm Canada and Screen Australia and also as a prime time television series.
