Incredible Story Studio is the place where kid’s stories from around the world are made into movies. Each half-hour episode of this tween dramatic series showcases two children’s stories, which are adapted into 10-minute live action TV dramas. The series is hosted by The Studio Boss – a comical kid character based on the old Hollywood movie moguls of the 1940s. With lots of savvy and movie mogul charm, she introduces each week’s movie, kid actors, and kid authors.
Wacky, spooky, scary, touching, sometimes a little bizarre, these are the types of stories kids like to write and watch! What can you expect from Incredible Story Studio? A haunted cheese, abotched love potion, a monster zit with a mind of its own, student zombies, robot teachers, goofy grown ups, girls, and gangsters… and that’s just a start! When it comes to kids’ stories anything can happen!
This groundbreaking dramatic series also comes with an in-school creative writing program for children ages 11 – 14 years. The Incredible Story Studio Writing Workshop has been used in schools across Canada and the United Kingdom.
