Director Nick Story Recognised at the SPORTEL Awards

Story Productions announces that Formula Dreams, a brand new TV series that has been years in the making, has been nominated for a SPORTEL Award in Monaco. Formula Dreams is a 10-part docu-style reality series set in São Paulo. It follows life in the fast lane for a group of youngsters, aged 8 to 12, competing to be karting champions and dreaming of being the next star of Formula 1.

For Nick Story, the series showrunner, it’s hugely rewarding to receive recognition for the teaser – a 2-minute glimpse of the drama and cinematography that will captivate viewers when it is launched in October at SPORTEL and MIPCOM.

Director Nick Story commented: "A six year old boy wearing a bright red helmet, a tight kart suit and oversized gloves which he was waving around while talking to a friend who was dressed the same, like two little astronauts:  this was the image I saw ten years ago when I first pointed my camera into this universe. Ever since I have wanted to tell their story. To be nominated for a SPORTEL award for best promo is a very important marker for the Formula Dreams project and a wonderful accolade to the creative talented team that have helped me bring this project to life."

The SPORTEL Awards is a highlight of the event, hosted on the first day of the convention – 5 October – to acknowledge the most outstanding sports content from the past year.
