Zero Charisma Trailer

Appar­ently this is show­ing at SXSW next month.

Yes it’s trad­ing in some stereo­types that will no doubt have a few peo­ple out­raged. But it made me laugh.

Metal-loving gamer geek Scott Wei­de­meyer lives with his ornery grand­mother and works a lousy job at a donut shop. But every Tues­day night, he is the omnipo­tent Game Mas­ter, guid­ing his role-players through a table­top jour­ney of fan­tasy and adven­ture. How­ever, when neo-nerd hip­ster Miles joins his game, Scott begins to resent the admi­ra­tion Miles receives from the other play­ers. To make mat­ters worse, the health of his grand­mother begins to fal­ter, and his estranged mother vis­its town, remind­ing Scott of a child­hood he’d just as soon for­get. Caught in a spi­ral of rage and delu­sion, Scott is forced to take dras­tic steps to reclaim his honor, and his iden­tity as the Game Mas­ter.

    I think it’s a fairly accu­rate rep­re­sen­ta­tion of a cer­tain type of gamer. No, we’re not all like that, but some are.

    Yup. The stereo­type came from some­where, and I’ve met a few like that over the years.

    I’ve known that guy. Some peo­ple may think I’ve got some­thing in com­mon with that guy. But he could just as eas­ily be fix­ated on cars, or foot­ball, or ___ .

    It looks like it’s at least worth a shot.

    I guess it’ll be awhile before I see it over here in Oz …
