"Frag"
Frag is the true story of
professional video gaming.
Almost everyone
in the world has played a video game,
but some kids do it for a living.
Frag sheds light on the struggles
that kids face while
trying to break into and maintain success in pro gaming.
At a young age, they are faced with making adult decisions that
impact the rest of their lives.
Below
the surface of a simple game is
an
underbelly of corruption, money, partying, drugs,
and even death.
Exploited, abused, and abandoned, most gamers fail to reach
the top, but like all
sports, there are heroes. Frag pulls the curtain back on the
biggest sport industry
in the world…one that you know nothing about. |

FRAG,
reveals for the first time, what lies behing the world's largest
entertainment industry, online video gaming. You may have noticed how
people under 30 have taken to this form of entertainment. There are in
fact several very successful Massive Multiplayer Games that draw each
evening, 50,000 or more simulteneous players from around the world,
into a role playing adventure, all from the comfort of their
computers...
As in any popular
form of entertainment, the gamers have their 'star system' too. Frag
follows the top pro-gamers on world tours, and gets you a ringside seat
into this fascinating form of fast-paced entertainment.
But Frag is not a
promo for the game industry. The film takes a cold hard look at its
history, its movers and shakers, and even its bullies.
Lushly shot on
HD, this film has drawn much interest since its presentation at EFM a
few months ago, with some suprising offers from around the world. Lets
just say countries one would normally associate with large MGs have
gotten on board, with some serious offers.
Why?
"Gamer market far outstrips the film industry..."
Maybe its because
video games consistently out perform films in revenue, or maybe its
because there are simply very few films that cross-over into the gamer
psyche. One thing is certain, if you have visited a Blockbuster or a
Walmart recently, you will notice how much shelf space is reserved for
games...doesnt that say everything?
