Frag
Documentary Showcase
(USA, 2007, 79 mins)
World Premiere
Directed By: Mike Pasley

Producers: Judd Saul, Todd Fossey

Kids no longer dream of being a pro athlete, they dream of being a pro cyber-athlete. In the 1980’s kids were competing in arcades for high scores. Today they compete for millions of dollars around the globe, and some gamers have achieved celebrity status.

Frag sheds light on the struggles that kids face while trying to break into and maintain success in pro gaming. At a young age, they face adult decisions that impact the rest of their lives. Below the surface of a simple game is an underbelly of corruption, money, partying, drugs, and even death.


Exploited, abused, and abandoned, most gamers fail to reach the top, but as in all sports, there are heroes. Frag pulls the curtain back on one of the biggest sport industries in the world that many of us know nothing about.

I see some names of some people I want to see mainly from the Counter Strike/PC scene and of course the people from this PMS/H20 community.

If this is going to be playing at a festival I wonder how those of us that won't be there will see it. I hope it ends up on a website or something.

[Dangerdoll PMS]

very neat :)

[PMS Harlequin]

I'm looking forward to seeing this. Sounds interesting. Congratulations to the film makers for getting it done and to all our friends for being featured in it.

[PMS Missy]

yay! I remember doing this in 2006. however when I did this I was not in PMS at the time =( , but I'm still in there! so that's good! and i'm in PMS NOW so that's all that matters =)

[Mofobian]

Woo Carnage! :)

[PMS Kahlo]

Wow that sounds pretty cool. I'd love to see it! :)

[PMS HateMaker]

Oh wow, I hope there is a way for those of us who can't attend to see it. Very cool.

[Domination]

Oooo I wish I could go. It sounds very interesting.

[Osiris H2O]

Can those of us in Dallas attend the showing?

[CrazyLSU]

Yeah I would love to know too... I should be there. Should be great!!

[V3NUS PMS]

I'm gonna go!! seems soooooooo long ago that they filmed us all.

[naturaL)]

e-pros! we need some events out on the west coast :P!!!

[Gypsyfly PMS]

Can those of us in Dallas attend the showing?

I don't see why not. The one film/documentary should be the price of a movie. I think like 8 bucks or so. We don't have any special invitation, but it's cool nonetheless.

Take some pictures if you can Caitlin!

[Mofobian]

I bought tickets, I'm gonna go on April 1st. I'm hearing that StarSlay3r makes an appearance as well.

[Athena Twin PMS]

I got a text from Geoff from Pure Pwnage last night he was in Dallas for this and "Parting with some of my friends"! I am assuming he met Venus and Aliki, lol? John is in town as well! I will try to make it down this weekend if I can! :D

[H2O Snake]

I wish I could go :(

This sux.

[StarSlay3r]

Johnathan texted me today saying I was in it and it was cool. I want to see the video. Waiting for it to come to LA! :D If anyone has seen it please post something about it! It'd be cool to hear more of what the film is about besides "the life of pro gamers". They filmed me when I was at CPL in Dallas WAY before I was PMS and I was competing in GH2 tourney. MTV was there filming along with 4 other camera crews so I had no idea that part of one of my interviews would be put in this movie over a year later. Crazy! Congrats to everyone that made it in and hopefully everyone in the Dallas area can check it out.

[Mofobian]

I am kinda curious if I am in it or not. The reason being that I placed 1st in the F.E.A.R. 1vs1 tournament at that CPL and they interviewed HannibalBerretta and myself afterwards but I never saw the footage. Amanda Mckay from GameTrailers interviewed both my brother and I as well, there was a clip from that in the Quakecon trailer though.

I had to reschedule my viewing of this "documentary" for April 3rd because of time conflict.

[Prognar]

Is there going to be an actual release of this? I'm down in Houston now and couldn't go, and people keep messaging me telling me I was in this documentary.

[H2O Rei Yureimx007]

WOW* speachless*

[Mofobian]

meh.

I was 20 minutes late and they locked us out :( I got to see everyone afterwards though.

[PMS Fedaykin]

wooow. I really love when people use footage of you without your permission or consent. i'm p i s s e d.

[PMS Kahlo]

Aww that sucks Feday... :/

[PuertoRican]

wooow. I really love when people use footage of you without your permission or consent. i'm p i s s e d.

I know how you feel, they have a shot of me in a bikini while shaking my booty in the hot tub as well.

[ItsRipley PMS]

The trailer looks really bomb. I really want to see itttt, hopefully some local theaters pick it up (I'm in New York, they always pick non-major production company films up somewhere!).

[Gypsyfly PMS]

Lol, I remember being in that hot tub too Feday...haha didn't realize I would make an appearance too.
