Multiplatorm funniness
BBC Three’s first ever multiplatform comedy-drama project, “Mouth to Mouth” is to launch online from Monday 27th October, with a 30-minute long special on Friday 7th November.
Wannabe pop star Meeshell Reeves wants nothing more from life than to be famous. When her girl group, “Cats Eyes”, is accepted on TV talent show “Fame Search”, she feels her destiny is about to be fulfilled. Alongside lifelong friend Devine and new member, Chloe the girls prepare for their big moment. But with a tragedy marring her past and her mother pushing her onward, the pressure on Meeshell begins to grow. When opportunity knocks, she grabs her chance at fame, but at what cost to herself and her friends? Delivered straight to camera, this funny, wry and moving comedy-drama explores the perils and pitfalls of the modern day phenomenon that is disposable celebrity.
This pioneering multiplatform production is written by Karl Minns. “Mouth to Mouth” is available online via Bebo and a dedicated BBC website as distinct chapters, each surrounded by unique extra video content, photography, written material such as press coverage of Cats Eyes, and music – all designed to expand and enhance the show in a way unachievable on TV. Bebo will also ask the audience to give feedback on the programme which will shape the future direction of the show.
