Narcissa Wright rose to prominence along with "livestreaming" and "speedrunning" — respectively, playing video games online for a live audience, and completing a video game in as little time as possible. After gaining worldwide recognition and a fan base of over 150,000, Narcissa came out as a transgender woman, which radically altered the trajectory of her career.
Break the Game follows Narcissa as she attempts to reclaim her prominent position in the online gaming community by attempting to set a speedrun record for the new Legend of Zelda game, the series that had helped to make her famous. Though her skills haven't diminished, she is subject to considerable online harassment, weighing heavily on her mental health.
Premiering at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival and told primarily through the assemblage of thousands of hours of livestreams, Break the Game is a compelling and creative journey into identity, psychology, and relationships in an increasingly online world.
