MyStory was the first "mobisode" funded by NZ On Air. It tracks a group of young people in their 'gap year' between high school and university as they search for independence, love and a school friend who has gone missing. The 40 bite-sized two-minute episodes were screened on music and youth-oriented channel C4, and were able to be downloaded daily to 3G Vodafone phones, or watched in weekly installments on the C4 website. Created by Gibson Group producer Bevin Linkhorn, the series was directed by Peter Salmon. The backgrounder article takes a closer look at the quirky cross-platform series.
Everyone went through the same motions as a normal series, it was just there were never any really big, long scenes . . . It was also really cool because you got the chance to try things out. It was a little looser than a big drama; things were a little lighter.– Actor Ryan O'Kane (Jed), on acting in the series, The NZ Herald, 19 April 2007
Produced with funding from NZ On Air.
