Fishing for creative success

A Dunblane group is one of five new Scottish consortia sharing a £50,000 collaboration prize, which encourages Scotland’s creative businesses to work together and grow.

Digital storytellers Kettle of Fish was founded by Ping, Bafta award-winning KO LIK Film and animation director Selina Wagner.

Kettle of Fish aims to create inspiring interactive storytelling apps for children, starting with its first idea, Crocodile on the Roof.

Ping founder and Kettle of Fish member Jason Wagner said: “We aim to inspire storytelling, encourage creativity, teach problem solving skills and will help young people learn how to use technology.

“We’re creating ‘turn to page’ adventures for a digital age.”

He added: “Winning the collaboration prize is a fantastic step forward for Kettle of Fish.

“It’s a real compliment to have our proposal recognised.”
