An interesting case study for aspiring writers, developers and publishers. 3 years ago, Galvin Scott Davis was placed on the Hollywood roller-coaster when his feature film thriller script ‘Stricken’ gained interest in L.A.
Fast-forward 4 weeks, 3 collapsed deals and the script disappeared into the infamous “turnaround” (read: back on the shelf until further notice).
Rather than rest on his laurels, the author developed the script into a beautiful illustrated Graphic Novel exclusive to iPad, introducing innovation… interactive storyboards and a movie Soundtrack designed specifically to immerse the reader into the world of the characters.
‘Stricken’ is available exclusively on iTunes as the first chapter of the saga. The reader can immerse themselves into the dark alleyways of MossTown, listen to the rain falling, the wail of sirens and the dripping blood of the serial killers next victim.
“The iPad allowed me to choose my own destiny with the story and tell it the way that I had realised it – to a cinematic audience. No collapsed deals, no false promises… just an innovative product straight to market.”
Think about this – If the novel builds its audience through Apple, how long before the movie rights are back in discussion. As the author puts it, “Reverse-engineer your destiny with the iPad”.
“The iPad was the logical device to tell the story. The novel firmly advocates the Noir Detective genre and how better to bring the audience into that world than by placing it in their hands and inside their head?”.
Is this the first Graphic Novel developed exclusively for the iPad platform? And is this the way of the future for new Authors?
