Dating Stories: An Interactive Film

Chris Hall, Jina Jung

We are handing over the reins in the medium of storytelling to the observer by asking the them to choose the direction of a first date.

Description

This interactive film is a comedic, 'choose your own adventure’-style narrative directed towards adults. The lead actress in the film, Christine, has two choices from her search on a popular dating app: will she go on a date with Douglas or Jared? Ultimately the individual observer gets to decide. By using the physical, interactive board, the observer has the ability to choose what path the date goes on in the film by moving the wooden piece from node to node. Their choices and full narrative are executed on the screen.
