Break the Game
Jan 20

Break the Game

Winner - New Documentary Director Special Jury Mention, Tribeca Film Festival, 2023

After coming out as a trans woman, world record–holding gamer, Narcissa Wright loses her massive fanbase. To win them back, she attempts to set a new world record in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while live-streaming every minute of her mythic quest.

Drawing from an archive of more than 3,000 hours of Narcissa’s livestreams, intimate verité and 8-bit animation, Break the Game is a moving exploration of gamer culture, the realities of online harassment and the mental health implications of living a digital life.

Stick around after the January 20 screening to cheer on as a gamer attemps to speedrun their way into the record books live on screen!
