An inspiring series of films meant to mobilize support for the first ever professional Overwatch League.
Activision Blizzard had an ambitious goal—create a professional Overwatch league that changed the model to behave more like traditional sports leagues. The new-to-world league would feature city-based teams, tapping into both fandom for the game and city pride. To promote the launch, we created a series of short films to announce Overwatch League and tell the stories of its incredibly talented esports stars.
These short films weaved together documentary-style player interviews and game footage to create excitement around the new property. As the lead writer on the project, I helped supervise the interviews and oversaw the cohesive process of editing them together. The films were shot by award-winning director Bennett Miller (Foxcatcher, Moneyball).
