Gaming will increasingly define the entertainment industry's future

 

Invisible Narratives, founded by Adam Goodman and Andrew Sugerman, and FaZe Clan, the most prominent and influential esports and entertainment organization in the world, unveil today their partnership and plans to launch The FaZe Clan Universe, which will begin with a feature-length film set to arrive later this year. FaZe Clan is at the epicenter of esports, culture and entertainment, boasting 230 million followers and billions of combined views across all channels.

For more than a year, Invisible Narratives and FaZe Clan have been developing an immersive cinematic universe, launching a brand-new form of entertainment that addresses the generational shift in content consumption. This partnership will look to expand the FaZe Clan talent’s content on social media platforms into full length features, delivering the most compelling and disruptive entertainment to feed the insatiable appetite of the massive global FaZe Clan fan base.

Additionally, Invisible Narratives and FaZe Clan have partnered with Epic Records to integrate some of today’s most culturally influential artists and their music into the first film, which will include the release of a new soundtrack.

Together, Invisible Narratives and FaZe Clan are also creating a revolutionary format for entertainment premieres. Their flagship film is set to debut at a first-of-its-kind, drive-in movie premiere event in Los Angeles this September. The premiere, which will be shepherded in partnership with legendary showman Jeff Beacher (Beacher’s Madhouse), will combine car culture, gaming, music and film together. Celebrity guests and FaZe members won’t just walk the carpet - they’ll be driving it - transforming the experience into a motorcade of the world’s most recognizable faces and cars - while upholding all health and safety guidelines.

“We are in the middle of a generational shift unlike any in the history of storytelling and consumption, changing the entertainment industry forever. At Invisible Narratives, we understand that the process by which movies are produced, premiered, and distributed needs to change,” said Goodman and Sugerman. “We are thrilled to collaborate with FaZe Clan and Epic Records, the most engaged eSports, music, and culture communities on the planet, to bring this must-watch content event to fans. We are excited to re-think the Hollywood premiere with the debut of this project and expect to have one of the greatest red (car)pets of all time.”

“When Adam first introduced his unique idea for bridging the gap between YouTube content creators and filmmakers, I knew he was onto something big,” said Lee Trink, CEO, FaZe Clan. “Historically, Hollywood has taken an expedient approach to leveraging creators and their huge audiences. Invisible Narratives’ immense respect and keen understanding of that relationship sets the new standard for filmmakers bringing their formats to this massive and rabid audience.”

The project will be self-financed and Invisible Narratives will be seeking international partners. This announcement comes on the heels of Invisible’s partnership with Michael Bay to produce Songbird, a pandemic thriller receiving early Cannes virtual market buzz.
