Topic.com
Why is this project worthy of an award?
Topic is a website, though it doesn’t solely exist on an internet browser: it’s also on Facebook, on Instagram, on Vimeo, on YouTube, in newsletters, and yes, even on Twitter. (Thanks to the efforts of our programming studio, responsible for films such as Spotlight, we will also exist in movie theaters and on television screens.) Topic is a brand devoted to supporting independent storytellers and creators with strong points of view and allowing them to take the time to figure out what they’re trying to say, and then say it. It’s about working with established voices and finding and featuring new ones. It’s about taking chances and not having all the answers, about exploring and indulging ambitions and curiosities … ours and others’. It’s about big stories and small ones, about the real and the fictional—and the areas in-between.
What else would you like to share about your design? Why is it unique and innovative?
Topic is an ambitious new entertainment & storytelling studio from First Look Media, dedicated to working with creators at the forefront of culture. From Academy Award®-winning films (Spotlight) to television, audio and digital, we explore a wide range of subject matter, both fiction and nonfiction, with an emphasis on stories of consequence. On Topic.com we focus our efforts on visual and audio stories programmed around monthly themes. Our approach – challenging, compelling and unconventional – reflects our commitment to discovering and amplifying independent new voices, and supporting established ones.
