'ALL WORK ALL PLAY' Live in HD Set for The Ridgefield Playhouse, 7/21
Tens of millions are watching online. One percent of the world population is playing the most popular competitive game. "The big events are already bigger than the biggest events in sports," said Kevin Lin, chief operating officer of Twitch, the world's largest videogame streaming platform. Not since the advent of television has a new entertainment medium so taken the world by storm. Meanwhile, players as young as seventeen are dropping everything to go pro, throwing all they have into a do-or-die race for the grand prize. Together, they have a common goal: to ensure that eSports remains more than a bright, burning fad. It's up to them to turn it into the sport of the future. They guide the scene as it explodes around them, molding it into a phenomenon that can last.
"Watching top gamers compete has become a truly entertaining experience. We are excited to take this from individual computer screens to the big screen for the gaming community to experience it together," said Fathom Events VP of Programming Kymberli Freuh-Owens. "This event offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at some of the greatest gaming teams in the world and provides exclusive live panel discussion and gaming demos."
"eSports is here and it's here to stay," said award-winning filmmaker Patrick Creadon, director of "ALL WORK ALL PLAY". "Our film offers an up close and personal look at this global phenomenon and provides a thrilling experience for gamers and non-gamers alike."
