The Pirate Queen Nominated for an Emmy Award
Award-winning Singer Studios’ production, ‘The Pirate Queen’, starring Lucy Liu has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
Voiced and executive produced by Hollywood star Lucy Liu and directed by multi-award-winning filmmaker Eloise Singer, The Pirate Queen invites players to step into the boots of the infamous 19th-century pirate Cheng Shih.
Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in a thrilling adventure as they explore moonlit cabins, climb precarious rigging, tackle intricate puzzles, outsmart adversaries, and uncover the story of a forgotten legend. Celebrated for its cinematic narrative and historically accurate environments, the game has achieved critical acclaim, winning the Tribeca Storyscapes Award and the Raindance Discovery Award. It is now nominated for a prestigious Emmy Award.
"As a team, we were inspired by Cheng Shih's remarkable journey: she overcame adversity, defied gender norms, and ultimately rose to become one of the most formidable pirates in history," explains award-winning producer Eloise Singer, the project’s director, and Singer Studios’ CEO and Founder. "Bringing Cheng Shih's story to life has been hugely rewarding, and this is just the beginning. We’re so excited to be expanding the narrative, telling her incredible story across film, TV series, and a graphic novel.”
Critics have praised the experience and its creators, with Fandomwire noting, "It's clear that The Pirate Queen was not just a job to them but a way to inspire empowerment in others and promote women in a noticeably male-dominated industry."
