Submarine Channel | The Future of Storytelling

The Submarine Channel is a platform for anyone interested in storytelling in innovative ways. As a production studio, we focus on interactive and immersive projects, exploring the narrative potential of forms such as virtual reality, augmented reality, interactive documentaries, dynamic comics, and video games.

In addition, we also produce editorial series that highlight cutting-edge storytelling concepts and showcase young and emerging talents in the creative industry. By sharing our experience, we hope to become a reference point for all industry pioneers, from large production companies to independent artists.

Since its establishment in 2001, Submarine Channel has been exploring the unknown realm of forward thinking storytelling. For many years, we have been committed to using these emerging forms to investigate socially relevant topics, from the Dutch pharmaceutical industry (Industry, 2018) to piracy off the coast of Somalia (The Last Hijacking, 2015) and daily life in Syrian refugee camps (Refugee Republic, 2014).

In the coming years, we hope to continue telling stories of this kind, with a particular focus on future scenarios and "hypothetical" narratives, allowing us to imagine in a very concrete way what the near future will look like (similar to the fictional restaurant we created in our 2015 project, Bistro in Vitro, serving lab grown meat).

At present, the topics that Submarine Channel focuses on include the future of the news industry, misinformation and conspiracy theories, art and artificial intelligence, and next-generation dating applications.
