Comparative films that model the type of film I would like to make:

Super Size Me (2004). Directed by Morgan Spurlock. Estimated Budget: $65,000.

o Super Size Me is an interesting documentary that although does not have a similar
subject to my proposed documentary, acts as an inspiration for the genre.
Race to World First (2013). Directed by Zachary Henderson and John Keating. Estimated
Budget : Unknown.
o Race to World First is a great World of Warcraft documentary, as such it is a film that I
may look to.
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007). Directed by Seth Gordon. Estimated Budget:
Unknown.
o The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a great video game documentary that follows
two competitive Donkey Kong players. It is broad enough to interest even non-gamers.
King of Chinatown (2010). Directed by Jordan Levinson and Calvin Theobald. Estimated
Budget: $12,000.
o King of Chinatown is a relatively interesting fighting game documentary, but is too niche
to appeal to a broad audience.
World of Warcraft: Looking for Group Documentary (2014). Directed by Blizzard
Entertainment. Estimated Budget: Unkown.

Type of Film: Documentary reliant on interviews and other fact segments occasionally interposed with
gameplay.
Rationale for the Type of Film: This film is not so much on the gaming culture behind World of
Warcraft, but its impact on the gaming industry. As a result the film with be full of gameplay videos from
various videogames. World of Warcraft has affected gaming for both good and bad. Steven Levitt is
there to give financial backing and legitimacy for figures, explaining the benefits of the model ActivisionBlizzard has adopted with its DLC. We will interview gamers of all types to gauge whether or not the
public cares about this.
