CHECK OUT OUT NEW CAMPAIGN FOR THE SEASON!!!

Godlike Gaming is a comedy webseries about gaming, friendship and dreams. The show centers around a competitive 5 vs 5 game that requires tactics, teamwork and high mechanical skills. It is inspired by shows like Video Game High School, The Guild and Spaced as well as Edgar Wright’s other projects.

Sky is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) player that dreams about being the best of the best, competing on the biggest stages and winning The World Championship in a big e-sport game. Her reality on the other hand is far from that. She lives in a shitty apartment, with an empty fridge and almost no income. Godlike Gaming is the name of her team and they can be annoying, frustrating and not focused enough on practice, but hey. It still beats solo que am I right?

The team are living their normal lives when they suddenly get into a local tournament, Battle of Legends. This would have been amazing if it wasn’t for the fact that one of their members dropped out. Not only will they have to find a new member, they also need to come together as a team and work with each other like never before if they are going to have a chance in their biggest shot of fame so far.

Sky

Sky is the main character of the show and is going to be played by Nicole Murray. The most important thing to Sky is the game and she is really good at it, but even though she is good her attitude is holding her back. Her sleeping schedule is not existing and she takes losses too hard. She also forgets to take the rest of the team into consideration and sometimes forgets that she needs to be a friend as well, not just a teammate. 

Sky wants to be able to influence everyone in the team since she has a hard time trusting them to make the right decisions and want to be able to do all the work if necessary. She’s also the one dreaming about the spotlight. These real life traits come out in the game in her role as the teams mid laner.

Fruit Cake

Will Maizel is playing Fruit Cake, the best friend of Sky. They have been friends since childhood. Sky can be a real mess and sometimes even unthoughtful, but Fruit Cake is always there for her. The team is her dream and Fruit Cake will be on her side doing what he can to support her. He is also the brother of the team's damage carrier, Pinkybr3ak, who can often get on everyone's nerves, especially Bash’s. Fruit Cake is doing what he can to try to keep them calm.

The best way to describe Fruit Cake is probably by his role in the team. He plays the support. He wants everyone to be seen and heard, don’t mind taking a step back to leave room for others, but will always step up to protect and support his friends.

Pinkbr3ak

The little brother of Fruit Cake will be brought to life by Omari Williams. The whole team might be nerds, but Pinkybr3ak is on another level. He reads every comic book, plays every game and knows all of the Star Wars lore. Pinkybreak easily clashes with people because he refuses to admit that he is wrong. You have to agree with him on things like who’s the best actor to play Batman or you are wrong and he will let you know how wrong you are.

Pinkybr3ak is the damage carrier of the team and he lives up to the stereotype. He thinks that everything revolves around him and if something goes wrong it’s never his fault.

Bash

Bash, played by Jamie Bautch, is the Tyler1 of the team. He is loud, cocky and gets easily angry. Because of his short temper Bash is constantly clashing with the “know it all” in the team, Pinkybr3ak. Bash’s heart is on the right side, but his competitive side hides it most of the time.

Bash is the top laner of the team. His attitude is “win lane, win game”. Simple as that. Don’t play around anyone else and trust no one. Bash is a very good mechanical player and he knows it, but he is a terrible team player. He doesn’t take orders well and thinks he can outplay more or less any one. 

Boxxxy

Last up we have Maddy Murphy as Boxxxy. Boxxxy is the new teammate of Godlike Gaming. She is very outgoing, sees the best in people and is usually very happy. Unfortunately what she has in empathy she lacks in brainpower. She speaks before she thinks and is always two steps behind everyone else in what is happening. To put it simple, she is rather stupid, but with a big heart.

Just like how Boxxxy wants to be there for everyone, but is stuck in her own world in real life, she also has the same role in the team as their jungler. 

Godlike Gaming is created by Eli Sundler. After rewatching VGHS and The Guild Eli wanted more scripted gaming series or movies, especially about e-sports, but couldn’t find anything. In a world where e-sport is as big as it is, we found it strange that we have almost no movies or shows about it. If you like basketball there is comedy, dramas. Live action, anime. Series, movies. The same thing goes with almost any sport, but not e-sport. That is why we are doing this show.

Eli

Eli, Daniel or Achmed (I go by many names). I’m the creator, writer, director and one of the producers for Godlike Gaming. I’m from Sweden but now live in LA where I’m a film worker by day and gamer by night. 

As a gamer I mainly play League of Legends, mains support (Thresh) and watch LCK (also watch other regions from time to time). Besides digital games I have spent a lot of time with board games and rpg. And as a filmmaker I have done several shorts which you can find a few of on my youtube-channel. Edgar Wright is my favorite director and I have taken a lot of inspiration from him while writing Godlike Gaming.

This show is about following your dreams and by doing this show I’m following mine. I have been dreaming about doing this show for five years and now it is finally happening. 

Josh

I’m Joshua Wallace, co-writer for GG. Texas-born, with a love of film but gaming whenever I get the chance I have worked in just about every crew aspect of student films, but have also previously done some writing and film work for a small advertising production company in Texas.

Put simply, this project is a combination of the things I love: filmmaking and gaming. Growing up on the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, then graduating to PC gaming as a teenager, with many consoles in between, this project is right in my wheelhouse. From a writing perspective, I hope to help capture the joy of gaming and, more specifically, the ups and downs of a professional team and help bring such an interesting cast of characters to life. 

That said, I hope to see this project grow into its potential and become what we all know it can be.

Roy

Hey there! My name is Roy Shellef. I am from Tel Aviv - Israel currently living in Los Angeles and I am one of the producers of “Godlike Gaming”. I work as a producer - director for short films. Before this project, I produced two short thesis films: “catch 38”, who is currently in post production and “Hope” - a post apocalyptic film directed by Eli Sundler.

I produced and directed a music video: “Call Me Devil”  and a short film called “Thank You” who is an official selection for Miami Independent Film Festival - monthly edition.
Filming, directing and producing is a way of life but you can’t deny our gaming world. From Diablo 2 Lord of destruction, Crash Bandicoot, GOW, Ghost Of Tsushima and more… All these games inspired me to create stories and bring new ideas to our screens. 

This show is our way to bring you into our world and make you forget about life for a while or connect to your deepest and most hidden emotions.
Help us with this project and I promise you, you will not be disappointed!

Valeriia

My name is Valeriia Nikulina, from Russia. I’m a line-producer of Godlike Gaming. I graduated from the BFA and MFA programs in marketing. Since last year, I have been based in Los Angeles, where I am complete an MFA Producing program at the New York Film Academy.  While studying in the United States, I produced about 9 short films, some of which have received recognition at international film festivals. 

When I first read that script, I was really captivated by the story, because it is fresh and unique. I can’t say that I am a big fan of video games, but from a producer point of view I see a tremendous potential in that whole concept, because the video gaming industry is huge and shows no signs of slowing down.

Robin

Robin Landal here! I'm a musician, filmmaker, propmaker, larper, but not least- a gamer from Sweden! I've been working with Eli on their last films, mainly as sound designer and composer, but also as director of photography. When Eli told me about Godlike Gaming we were still shooting our first movie together, so now when the time has come to realize it I couldn't be more excited to join the production as the main composer!

I'm a child of the gaming era, just as so many others, and I know there are stories out there that has to be told. Just like sports, music, dancing, art or reading books, gaming can be both social and a way to find and get to know yourself. This is true for me, and I am still, at age 31, spending at average 2-3 hours a day gaming with my best friends as a way to relax and socialize.

Therese

My name is Therese and I live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I am a sound engineer and sound designer, and apart from concerts and theatre I have worked on many short films and tv productions. I love to give stories life by sounds! I have done the sound design for two of Eli’s short films, and we also both took part in creating an epic fire dance show for the opening act of a festival!

I am also a gamer since childhood, though mainly playing one player point and click puzzle games and strategy games.

Making a series is not cheap. Everything from location, crew, cast to permits, insurance and marketing cost money. Fortunately the first episode will be made as a thesis project and therefore comes with a lot of student discounts and already paid for equipment. Also a lot of free crew. That’s why making the first episode will be a lot cheaper than the rest. 

We ask for $6,000 for the first episode and for every $10,000 after that we will make one more episode. The hope is to make a six episode season (10-15 minutes per episode) to start with.

Eli has had big ambitions with previous projects, but low-budget and have therefore had to learn how to make professional movies with a minimal budget. With that said, a bigger budget can make the team go bigger with the show.

To put things in perspective: the first season of VGHS cost over $600,000 and Scott Pilgrim vs the World cost $60,000,000.
