For all us fellow YouTube procrastinators out there, you’ve undoubtedly heard of or seen one of freddiew many cinematic antics. Real Life Mario Kart, Flower Warfare, and the Rocket Jump are just a sampling of the joys Freddie and his crew bring to the otherwise dull browsing experience.
So have you ever wondered what Freddie could do with the budget for a feature length film? – Well here’s the Trailer.
Admit it, who else thought; “OMG! It’s Chuck!!”
Video Game High School (VGHS) began as a Kickstarter project that exceeded its pledge goal by over 350%, and is by far their most ambitious project to date. With fellow filmmakers Matt Arnold (writer/directot) Brandon Laatsch (freddiew co-founder), Will Campos (writer), and Brian Firenzi (writer, “The Law”) in tow, the VGHS narrative envisions the veritable (optimistically inevitable) utopian discourse of Video Games as the apex of competitive sports, as the current eSports scene has burgeoned from a niche sub-culture to a global phenomenon.
The pilot début, dubbed “episode 0,” introduces protagonist Brian as potential VGHS progamming academic, after his concurrent rise to fame, pwning “The Law,” the worlds top amateur online-fragger and VGHS Senior in a routine pub-stomp – all done with exuberant cinematic flair, quintessentially freddiew. From RTS to FPS; the competition, the glory, the millions of dollar endorsement, and the hordes of screeching fan-girls who quiver and spontaneously faint at the mere mention of the progaming elite – well I did mention this was fiction.
This 90-minute feature will be aired as a 10-part webseries (aired weekly) with the first episode available on May 17 on freddiew’s YouTube account, or for the impatient, you can venture over to their sister site Rocket Jump to get view the first episodes in its entirety.
