Got Game?
Top 10 Finalist Break.com Originals | Interactive Online Comedy
In the tradition of a high school chain story or the community-built, internet phenomenon, Star Wars Uncut, GOT GAME? is the internet's first Twitter-sourced film script - each scene written and submitted by @BreakMedia followers, selected and joined by a professional writer, to be shot exclusively by Break Media's Creative Lab.
GOT GAME? tells the story of two legendary bar room 'players' whom are competing for the hottest chick of the night, resulting in a cock-blocking war for the ages. Twitter-sourcing mines the Break.com community for hilarious gems by using #hashtags to direct their favorite player's actions. The selected results then stream into a cohesive story under the direction of a writer. Think a malicious Cheers meets Spy vs. Spy meets that creepy guy on eBay who you can pay to do anything you want on video.
Twitterers will be allotted 2 minutes, broken into 15 second slots, comprising 8 scenes, with 1 minute of writer-controlled connective material or filler. As a particular twitterer's scene is played, his handle will be shown during the entirety of the segment, linkable to his twitter profile, as both reward and incentive to participate - quite literally 15 seconds of fame.
GOT GAME? takes place in a bar, like any other really, but this one happens to be the lair of two consummate ladies men. Tonight, the prize is a blonde stunner seated at the bar. Who will win her over? How will they get it done? You decide. A direct approach in the form of the best pick up line ever, or do you try to take out the competition with a masterful cockblock? You decide.
This experiment aims to create a mutual crowdsourced campaign that will reward Breaks fans, while generating an instant fan base and a viral marketing push like no other; a caption contest x 10, a 'which-way' book for the modern age, an original social experiment to generate a new brand of comedy out of the funniest community on earth - Break.com.
Written with Zach Herring.
