The Last Hours of Laura K is a ground-breaking digital experience placing the audience at the heart of the story. Using 24 hours of footage from the fictional surveillance programme SATURNEYE, this is a disconcertingly intimate, unfiltered and impartial look into Laura’s last hours before her death.

The 24-hour video file is only half of the story. To find the killer, users will have to immerse themselves in the characters’ digital lives via their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles, looking for clues and motives seeded by our writers over months to help them identify the killer.

Kate Rowland, 麻豆官网首页入口 Writersroom Creative Director, says: "The project inspired by the Edward Snowden quote, 'I don’t want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity, love or friendship, is recorded' challenges the traditional conventions of storytelling, and questions how we live our lives now."

With 麻豆官网首页入口 development and support, this ambitious project has been a labour of love for the creative team behind it. The writers include Gabriel Bisset Smith, who also directs; Rachel Delahey, who plays Laura Kitchens; Kenny Emson; and Ed Sellek, working closely with producer Jon Davenport and Kate Rowland.

The Last Hours of Laura K will officially launch on 30 March. It’s on this day that Saturneye’s prototype media player is released to the world - it’s on this day the hunt for 23 year-old Laura’s killer truly begins.

With over 40 character profiles already live on social media, as well as an alternative newsblog SP117, the narrative threads are already there to be discovered. When and how the users consume and share the content is up to them.

The 24 hours of Laura’s life was filmed over an extraordinary 16 days across London, from the Southbank to St Martins at Kings Cross, from Farringdon to Dalston by a small, dedicated team working with a set of step ladders and a bag of Go pros.
