Sugar Pine 7: Sugar Pine 7 (2017)
Season 1, Episode 16
10/10
A thrill-ride; an amalgamation of what online content should be.
26 October 2017
The creators of Sugar Pine 7 - the figures who forefront every episode - have an unrivaled technicality and meticulous consideration of story and character arcs in which they present. The web-series, which can be found on YouTube, is vastly performed in a sharp-witted, improvisational style (or to get pretentious, commedia dell'arte). This approach allows for an array of natural screen presences, despite the actors behind the show not having comedic or dramatic backgrounds (or so I assume).

Steven Suptic, whose materialistic, disgustingly self-absorbed persona is challenged by the thoughtfully immature characters who surround him. This allows for a brilliant on-screen dynamic that is unprecedented on the platform (however reminiscent of David Dobrik's wealth subplot). As Cib, James, and Parker emotionally grow and flourish into their own intricacies, there's an apparent affinity that Steven develops towards these people (palpable in his narration), allowing for genuine and heartwarming moments within a show that is comedic to its core. The moments of authenticity are nothing short of a reflection of the group's dynamics external to the plot, made evident in the podcasts they record or other public engagements (RTX). The presentation of each episode, constructed and paced by Suptic and Autumn Farrell, is done in such a consuming fashion that the next episode on Autoplay is irresistible, and is most certainly of-note.

Sugar Pine 7 is a community; an inviting one that - despite hardships - instils an audience desire to be among the group. The creators and actors genuinely care for their collective creative output, and this solicitude is mirrored in their efforts. A very good show.

A demonstration of what a web-series should be.

Indie Game: Life After lacks content
10 September 2016
I actually loved the original- Indie Game: The Movie. It discussed the struggles that developers embark on when initialising development on ambitious indie games. This however, had no problems. The indie developers were happy with their games, and that's really it. Phil Fish's story in the original was incredibly entertaining because of all the problems he had at PAX. This however, just felt like a big gloat and that's it. Nothing new to add to the table, nothing to say. Just the developers winning awards for their work. No complications or anything. They obviously deserve the awards they receive as they faced extreme agony when facing the release, but this shouldn't have been a documentary release.
