Back to Earth Interactive Experience Details: Press Release: "The groundbreaking immersive story world BACK TO EARTH announced today the launch of the project’s interactive experience. Debuting on November 13th, the experience invites audiences to immerse themselves in a futuristic, multi-platform narrative where a new technology could destroy the world -- or save it. Engineered by the masterminds at No Mimes Media, and based on the vision of creator Clay Space, the BACK TO EARTH interactive experience gamifies the story’s apocalyptic world and allows users to enhance their experience within the narrative. The interactive experience can be accessed on the web at StarFate.tech.

“We’re trying to push the boundaries of what is possible with blockchain and entertainment,” says Clay Space, Creator of BACK TO EARTH. “By building content for multiple platforms, we are maximizing the strength of the story by taking advantage of the specific medium we’re telling it through. Whether they are viewing the series, reading the graphic novel, or exploring our interactive experience, I think participants will be astonished at how deeply immersed they can be in our world.”

This isn’t your typical multi-platform project. BACK TO EARTH is the perfect marriage of tech and entertainment - combining blockchain with storytelling to create a truly unique story experience. The first glimpse into the sci-fi universe, the interactive experience invites players to tumble down the rabbit hole into the heart of the mega-corporation StarFate, discover the true origins of the apocalypse, and uncover secret plans for the future of the human race. As the world teeters on the edge of ruin, one key StarFate engineer stumbles onto a secret that will change the fate of humanity — unless he can stop it.

Users can dive further into the story by purchasing StarCredits which will allow them to unlock clues, exclusive content, and merchandise discounts. Purchasing cryptocurrency, specifically alt coins, can be a difficult process as it requires going through exchanges and converting US dollars into multiple currencies. However, BACK TO EARTH has simplified the process by allowing participants to purchase StarCredits directly from the site with their credit card.

“With Back to Earth, the content lives across platforms including video, audio, websites and even phone calls, but possibly the coolest part is that the currency, StarCredits, lives inside and outside of the fiction, immersing the audience like never before.” Behnam Karbassi, Founder/CEO of No Mimes Media.

In addition to the interactive experience, the story world of BACK TO EARTH also includes a series, a short film, and a graphic novel. The world of BACK TO EARTH was engineered by an award-winning team of experts, including the creation of the story world by No Mimes Media, the visualization of the graphic novel and animated series by M2, and the crafting of the short film by acclaimed director Federico Heller (“Uncanny Valley”). In addition to the current pillars, Space is developing a television series based in the world of BACK TO EARTH which is currently seeking distribution partners.

    About the Author - Tamika Jones

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
