Vlogger is a 2011 political thriller produced by Zentropa International Spain. The film, shot in the Catalan language, features heavy use of machinima.[1]
Plot
The film centers on Tania a Pakistani-born computer specialist working in Barcelona who learns that her missing twin brother Osman has returned to playing the video game Half-Life (series). Soon she learns the terrible truth that her brother has been recruited into a terrorist organization and plans to become a suicide bomber. With just six days before his terrorist mission takes place she begins exploring the virtual world of Half-Life using an avatar in order to find him and prevent the bombing.[2]
Production
The film combines animated footage shot inside virtual worlds (Machinima) with live footage from webcams and has a strong transmedia element. The project was possible thanks to winning an ICAA New Media Fund 2010 Competition. It was the debut film of Catalan born director Ricard Gras.[3]
International distribution was handled by Trust Nordisk (http://www.nordiskfilm.com/).[3]
