SoLikeLife on VUZU.TV
Ochre Moving Pictures is proud to announce that SoLikeLife is now hosted by VUZU.TV. The series is available in the form of downloads on VUZU.TV’s MXIt platform, as well as on the channel’s website. You can follow the series on Twitter and on Facebook.
SoLikeLife tells the story of a group of 20-something South Africans living today's frenetic Jozi lifestyle. Brad and Tahnia meet after a dare, fall in lust and are drawn into a relationship, within a virtual world that plays out on their cellphones. While the storyline has all the hooks of a traditional soap in the form of drama, romance and comedy, SoLikeLife breaks the conventions of traditional TV by being presented from the perspective of the characters - giving viewers a fly-on-the-wall, voyeuristic perspective of a relationship unfolding in a digital age.
VUZU.TV, launched on 01 July 2009, is not only an innovative TV channel but is also looking 360 as it gears up at increasing interactivity through locally produced content, available online and through various interactive platforms.
