Production company Earthling, Dextero, and Fnatic are about to back the curtain on some of gaming’s most unassuming entertainers, with a new esports documentary called Take Your Shot.
While big time Twitch celebrities and streamers are all about audience engagement, the majority of esports players still look more than a little unaccustomed to the odd promo shot. So, what better way to get to know the people that blast away hopes and dreams in the esports arena than with a parade of cameras. Independent production company Earthling has just announced the launch of a new behind the scenes esports documentary, titled Take Your Shot.
Directed by RTS Awarded Ross Bolidai and produced by Matt Diegan, this rare fly-on-the-wall documentary offers a glimpse into the workings of Fnatic. This icon of the esports industry might be well known for top tier signings and big stage debuts, but the real focus of the new documentary is the brand’s untested amateur team. Aiming to make a mark on the Valorant World Championships, the group of bedroom gamers are bound by the leadership of musical theatre trained star, Jake “Boaster” Howlett and a whole bunch of gumption.
Taking a look at a side of esports rarely seen by the general public, Take Your Shot is available on the Dextero Originals YouTube Channel and follows this team of newcomers as they try to make it all the way from their first tournament in Iceland and out to Berlin, and a one million dollar prize pool.
