Description:
We're creating the first Alternate Reality Cinema, an interactive mini-series which will play out from characters' accounts over social media as part of a massive fictional news event, based on the Reddit story "I Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life, He's Succeeding", with 2m+ views. The story is a parable about coordinated influence campaigns online, designed as a media literacy campaign around identifying fake news and rhetoric intended to divide and rile people up. It is also a farcical, hyper-real parody of modern callout culture. Our aim is to evoke conversation about the toxicity of the modern internet in specific terms. The story of David King, the psychopath who used all his cunning to ruin Zander's life, and Zander's mobilization of the entire internet to get him back, is released over two weeks alongside responses from 50+ fictional entities, culminating in a showdown on Facebook Live. We're competing for the Interactive Emmy, a category with little competition.
