Victoria Beata Limited is a transmedia entertainment and literary arts studio dedicated to preserving and reimagining Manx folklore through its flagship project, “Tales of The Glen”. Blending traditional storytelling with innovative digital artistry, the company operates with a clear ‘Digital First, Paper Second’ policy designed to minimise physical waste. As a digitally focused creative studio, it utilises energy-efficient cloud computing to support content creation and world-building. Future physical products, including books and prints, are planned as small-batch, on-demand editions to prevent overproduction and reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional mass manufacturing.
In contributing to the development of a sustainable economy, Victoria Beata Limited supports the Isle of Man’s ambition to grow as a digital centre by creating original intellectual property that promotes the Island to a global audience. “Tales of The Glen” is conceived as a sustainable digital export, showcasing Manx landscapes and culture without placing additional physical pressure on sensitive natural sites. The company prioritises collaboration with local Manx freelancers and businesses, ensuring that its operational activity strengthens and circulates value within the Island’s creative economy.
Supporting and promoting Manx cultural heritage lies at the heart of the company’s mission. Extensive research into the Island’s folklore, glens, natural environment and oral traditions underpins its literary world-building, ensuring that reinterpretations remain authentic and respectful. By reimagining these stories for contemporary digital audiences, Victoria Beata Limited keeps Manx heritage vibrant and relevant for younger and older generations alike, while introducing international audiences to the Island’s distinctive identity.
The company seeks to make a positive environmental impact through its storytelling, acting as a digital ambassador for the Manx landscape. Its narratives celebrate the restorative qualities of Island life, the glens and coastline, encouraging a ‘leave no trace’ ethos among followers. Manx flora and fauna frequently feature as central elements within its stories, highlighting the importance of the Island’s biodiversity and fostering appreciation for its natural environment.
Victoria Beata Limited engages actively with the local community through involvement with the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce and collaboration with creative networks. Committed to transparency in its use of technology, the company shares insight into how augmented artistry can positively contribute to the Manx creative economy, advocating for a thoughtful fusion of traditional arts and modern innovation.
