STH (Series where you are the heroes) is a concept that I think of since I was young. (Yes, it took me a long time before starting to create but I always used to note every idea I have.)
I always loved “books where you are the hero”. Those Illustration books where we had choices to do and then we navigated between the pages to see if we could succeed until the end. And I always asked myself if we could do something like this with a movie.
When Netflix came with Black mirror, Bandersnatch, I immediately thought: “Goddamn, they took my idea!”. Definitely not. Stop dreaming you poor kid.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about it and for me, the movie was still fixed and you don’t have a real impact on it…
Then came for me the opportunity to create a web-series. Give me your name. Perfect to test the concept.
The idea is that at the end of each episode, the audience can vote or have something to do that will have a real impact on the following of the story. Because the particularity here is that the next episode is not yet filmed.
What is really exciting is that I can stick to the script and the audience (and me by the way) could really “lose” at the game. We will see how I develop that in the future…
Salut.
