Executive Producers Eloise Singer and Lucy Liu have announced that they will donate 50 copies of their acclaimed VR experience, "The Pirate Queen," to academic institutions worldwide. The immersive experience tells the story of Cheng Shih, a legendary pirate who defied convention to become one of history's most powerful female leaders. The donation includes a signed limited edition poster and aims to inspire future leaders with Cheng Shih's story of defiance and leadership.

"The Pirate Queen" has received widespread critical acclaim for its storytelling and educational value. Directed by Singer and starring Liu, the VR experience offers a historical portrayal of Cheng Shih, who commanded 70,000 men during the lead up to the Opium Wars. The experience has been honored with multiple awards, including the Tribeca Storyscapes Award in 2023 and The Raindance Discovery Award in 2021.

Singer Studios has worked closely with academics, researchers, and sensitivity checkers to create a historically accurate environment and narrative. The VR experience is just the beginning of an expansive franchise for "The Pirate Queen," which will extend into an animated film, live-action TV series, and a graphic novel.

"The Pirate Queen" is available now on Meta Quest 2 & 3, and Steam. Singer Studios invites audiences to step into the boots of Cheng Shih and explore moonlit cabins, row through perilous waters, and scale the sides of ships to outsmart adversaries and be crowned the leader of the fleet before daybreak. The experience is a powerful educational tool that offers a unique learning experience that combines history, culture, and cutting-edge technology.
