What do you do when your boyfriend’s gaming obsession starts leveling up? You make a webseries, of course!

Listen to this podcast episode to hear about internet content-creation and gaming culture. Fun fact: the whole webseries was filmed in a single day!

“People are in different cultures, different countries, but we are all universally connected by certain things…it’s fascinating to watch, that our little video game series can touch on some of those topics.”

“I think once people observe something as a viewer…you’re able to sort of step away and see ‘I see this behavior now, and I do have this behavior at work.'”
