got into a sneak industry showing of choose your own documentary. it’s a bona-fide branching narrative, audience-interactive film. and it’s great.
it’s also so perfect a concept, it conjures the slightly uncomfortable thought that rather than than trailblazer for the field, it might just be the one-and-only definitive article. but, no. the conceit relies on such a limited demographic, to start. and… well, is it really an interactive film? my take is that it is simply good theatre, executed with the best audience-voting slide-deck ever. the protagonist-narrator on stage is key, emotionally and in terms of audience interaction.
