Alright, so as you may or may not know, my brother and I are working on a feature-length documentary. We're doing a story on video game addiction. So far we've gotten several interviews and filming will wrap within a month.
I worked on the film as cinematographer and editor and most techy stuff. So if the film looks like shit, blame me. My brother is the director and fielded the interviews. I'm writing and directing segments. I think he'll be narrating the film. Though I'm not sure yet, depends what we decide.
While the whole story is we're not Moore's or Spurlocks so the documentary tries it's best to get both sides views. We don't care about theatrics, we want truth. See there is still some integrity in filming.
While, we've shot hours of footage and don't have.. a name. That's right. We're out of luck when it comes to the title.
Which is ironic because we already have a working-title name for our next feature... "Spiritua" which yes, I'll be taking the reigns as director and writer. So this is my brothers project with me helping and "Spiritua" will be my project with my brother helping. Hey, we're the next generation Cohens, or Wachowskis (without the sex change). Whichever you prefer.
Either way, post will probably wrapped on the documentary in January and Febuary is when I want to begin filming "Spiritua". Oh and "Coffee" is still in the works, and I'm wanting to film that as soon as possible.
If it's about video game addiction why not go for concept that reflects that urge to play just one...more...level...
It would be cool if you had footage of one of your interviewees actually saying something along those lines. Then the title could be a quote. Like "One More Level and I'll Stop..."
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
I reckon a look at people with net addiction could be interesting too. You always hear those stories about people who dropped dead after being on the net for four days straight or whatever.
I've heard that some countries even have rehabs for net addicts now.
Sounds more like arcade games from the 80s. Do people play for high scores anymore? I mean with WoW and round-based Unreal tournament style games.
The incentive seems to be increasingly complex today with games like Second Life where there is no natural end-point but the goal of the game is to play the game.
Games are going from being linear to circular so it never has to end.
Scary.

I like the title "One More Level" without the second part.
Mario Brothers is a highly addictive game but you're not addicted like a drug in any way shape or form. Now if they have every game system (even the hard to find ones) and every game ever made for them, yes that guy is addicted to video games.
Out of curiosity, does your documentary focus on MMOs and virtual worlds or just obsessive videogaming in general? You should interview some Korean people if you haven't already...
