Anna Zaluczkowska, Course Leader Media, Writing and Production says, "We wanted to update student media skills to match new audience behaviours. The student writers have created some great stories and characters that start in the digital world and spill out into real life. It's a very exciting project."
Bellyfeel's Managing Director Krishna Stott says, "This is exactly the kind of new storytelling that will engage a modern audience. The students have done some great work on this project and it's brilliant that it will now be seen by a global audience."
