Creative Director of the Bristle Shores Playhouse Ted Lohman hires an eclectic ensemble of non-union actors to perform pop musical sensation Mamma Mia and classic Greek drama Medea in what he hopes will be a groundbreaking summer stock season. However, when the overworked (and clearly underpaid) Technical Director finds a “Cease and Desist” order from a major musical licensing company, the dramatic band of misfits has to decide whether to pack up their character shoes and catch a bus back to their catering gigs or come together to create a little theatre magic. Will they be able to completely recreate a major pop musical in time for Opening Night or will it be a true Greek tragedy? That’s Show Business.

Viterbium - The Treasure Hunt | Game Series

Viterbium - The Treasure Hunt | Game Series

00:08:14

"Viterbium - The Treasure Hunt | Game Series" was born with the intention of telling the Tuscia in a dynamic and interactive way through the Game Series mode. Trame and UniVerso Giovani, promoters of the project, shot this pilot in an attempt to clarify the concept of "interactive web series aimed at territorial promotion" and to find the necessary funds.

Game Series is a mix between a film, a web series and a video game: it allows the user to divert the course of the narration, making it the true protagonist of the story.

Among legends, myths and breathtaking landscapes an adventure takes place between fantasy and reality, between History and the present, between marketing and web seriality, which will lead our friendly protagonists in an interactive journey to discover Tuscia and its beauties, in search of a mysterious treasure.

When the video stops, the user will decide how to continue the story and with his actions will change the flow of events.

At each stop, four choices will appear in the graphic:

- One story will continue

- Another will lead to a short documentary on one of the wonders of Tuscia

- Another will lead to an "Advertisement - GAME OVER"

- The last one will be just a trick to keep you from finding the treasure

“I’ve always said and believed that food creates culture and culture creates food. Many people think that all I do is eat free food and post it for the ‘gram, but In this series I’m going to show you what I see, what I experience, and share the untold stories of the people that shape our culture through food.”
