ABOUT

Scars” was originally written as a response to a reddit writing prompt. The original story received over 14,300 upvotes on reddit has received over a million views. On the surface, “Scars” is about a young cadet learning that there are two sides to every story. However, the real story goes much deeper in discussing the value of truth, honesty, and how people judge one another based on their physical appearance.

We wanted to do more than say “HeY, WaTcH My ShoRt FiLm.” We love 360 Storytelling/transmedia so we built a broad web of over 100 supplementary content deliverables designed to take the viewer on a story driven journey across platforms and deeper down the rabbit hole of our story universe. Fake ads based on fictional in-world products, Snapchat and Instagram filters to accompany festival screenings, and an easter egg blog site written as one of the main characters are just a few of the avenues we utilized.
