10Tales Launches “The SoReal League” – A Social TV Series about a Global Soccer League

MENLO PARK, Calif. - Jan. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- 10Tales, Inc. announced today the launch of “The SoReal League,” a social TV series, which is focused on global football (soccer) and is targeted towards high school and college-age male and females. The show features unique mobile user-generated-video opportunities built around app participation, in-person experiences such as actual games being played, and team infrastructure being created through social media.

“The SoReal League,” along with other TV series and films, can be found on the new award-winning Social Video Platform that enables teenagers and young adults to move beyond just taking mobile video and sending to friends, into a more engaging experience where they can insert their 10-second mobile video into professional TV series or films and then bring friends inside the stories with them.

The 10Tales patented platform was initially used to debut the first organic social TV show within Facebook – the Global OMMA APPY award-winning “On the Map,” which was seen in over 70 countries in just its first 2 weeks. Nearly 70% of the audience members connected their friends inside the show, with 95% embedding user-generated-video into the show.

10Tales is where the audience and their friends go to connect with each other inside the stories they love. 10Tales makes it easy for anyone to insert 10-second videos that they capture on their mobile phone inside professional TV series and films.  Then once they are inside the story they can bring their friends inside as well. This is done in real-time so they can see themselves and their friends together immediately inside the story!

“At 10Tales, we believe the future of story engagement is not just sitting passively watching a film or TV series on your mobile or guiding inside a VR world with no narrative component” said CEO David J. Russek. “With 10Tales, we are leading the way as the media industry enters into the next generation of social where user generated mobile video of friends can be inserted real time into professional TV and film experiences. 10Tales enables audiences to create a personalized story experience. Then they can bring friends into the story who insert their own videos inside the stories next to them, creating a collaborative experience all inside a narrative. It is a natural extension to taking a video on your phone and sending it to someone across social media.”

“It is the perfect combination of a TV series, social media, user generated video and actual real world events that we love. Our generation is participating in all of these activities already, now they’re just put together in a very unique and fun way,” says Christian Duffy DeAbreau, a student at the University of Pennsylvania who played futebol in his country of birth, Brazil. Along with his friends at UPenn and The Wharton School, Duffy claimed a team in “The SoReal League” that they are now building out for the upcoming season. “The team is looking really strong so far,” says Bernardo Penteado, a student at Wharton. Together with fellow Brazilian Andre Ferreira, they have chosen to play for a national team Ireland, because of Christian Duffy’s partial Irish heritage, and play their initial games in the Philadelphia region of “The SoReal League.”

“The SoReal League” features players in world football centers around the world such as the United Kingdom, Argentina, Italy, Paris and Los Angeles. In “The SoReal League,” the world’s top amateur soccer (or futbol as it is known around the globe) players, clubs and fans coming together across social media, all through the 10Tales social TV/film app. 10Tales is looking to follow soccer with basketball, American football, and other sports at the urging of some top advertisers.

The initial “10Tales” focus with the sports format shows is on amateurs, but we are experiencing a great push to have professional athletes and celebrities participate in unique ways as well, so expect some surprises,” added Russek.

The free 10Tales app is available on both iOS (iPhone) and Android smartphones.
