The Never Alone team on partnering with the BBC to chart the future of our seas
Created in partnership with Alaskan tribes, 2015’s Never Alone was a powerful attempt to preserve and celebrate indigenous culture through the mechanics of a platform game. Following its release, publisher E-Line Media received a call from an unexpected quarter. The BBC had enjoyed Never Alone’s handling of documentary materials, and wondered if the company might do something similar for the forthcoming second series of Blue Planet. “They invited us to sort of shadow the production,” E-Line’s CEO Michael Angst says. “To look at the huge library of footage they’d put together, speak to the scientists and see if we could mine that for an original story, but sort of continue from where the last episode talks about the future of the ocean.”
