Game On

What happens when a simple game of Magic: The Gathering goes too far?

We made Game On for the SModcastle 37 Hour Film Challenge, where we had just 37 hours to write, shoot, edit, and deliver a finished short film.

The challenge also came with mandatory elements that had to be clearly represented in the film:

  • The Prop: An old school boombox
  • The Character: Alyssa Jones appearing on-screen
  • The Dialogue: “Bunch of savages in this town.”

After a brutal board wipe, two friends decide there can be only one. What starts at the gaming table escalates into an epic sword duel in Chuck’s Mom’s backyard.

If you enjoy nerdy chaos, backyard sword fights, and over-the-top dramatic nonsense, you’re in the right place.
