This is crazy!
I was contacted by Associak Distribuzione Indipendente in reference to an Italian web-series that they are currently promoting. It’s described as “the first horror-comedy series in Italy,” but it’s so much more than that! The series, “Step By Step,” is created by Ivan La Ragione and Francesco Crisci and it is particularly groundbreaking for two reasons.
First, the style in which the web-series is shot is more reminiscent to a current generation video game than a short film. Think Lollipop Chainsaw meets The Sims. Each episode looks like a compilation of cut scenes from Xbox One and PS4 games and even the characters’ dialogue sounds like something from The Sims. The best part is… you are watching an episode of film, not a video game. It is absolutely brilliant and the first time I’ve ever seen filmmaking like this. The second reason that “Step By Step” is groundbreaking is because it never shows any characters from the waist up. Despite this, it is extremely easy to understand what’s going on.
I could honestly rave about “Step By Step” some more, but I think you should just watch it for yourself. I’ve compiled the first three episodes for you below. More episodes are on the way, so make sure you stay glued to Tauron Entertainment for all the latest updates.
I’m so glad this was brought to my attention. Wow.
